William Ury Talk on Getting to Yes with Yourself

As the co-author of the classic book Getting to Yes, William Ury has devoted a large portion of his career to developing a method of principled negotiation that has been applied by executives and statesman alike. In this conversation, Ury turns his attention to what might be an even tougher obstacle then those faced by diplomats or high-powered CEOs: navigating through disagreements with our family, friends, close teammates, and even ourselves. Citing that for many, the biggest opponent is the person in the mirror, Ury outlines strategies he's developed to help people overcome personal anger in order to find a place of calm perspective that can allow us to reach solutions with others that are based on equitable common interest and sincere dialogue.
