Every day brings negotiations in everything we do. As attorneys, we negotiate the terms of engagement with our clients; we negotiate on our clients' behalf, then negotiate with the clients to explain how the terms we negotiated serve their best interests. There are more subtle forms of negotiation as well. We negotiate how to reach our destination as efficiently as possible; we negotiate with our kids over their bedtimes. We also negotiate with ourselves how best to spend our time. Negotiation is a skill we use in every aspect of our personal and professional lives.
