Everyday Negotiator
How to Speak Power & Protect Your Peace
“You were never meant to beg for the seat. You were meant to build the table. And now? You sit at this table with peace as your throne.”
The real win is not the promotion, the raise, or the applause. The real win is peace — the peace of no longer performing, no longer shrinking, no longer needing outside permission to own your truth. This book gives you the structure to claim it.
Drawing on thirty years of high-stakes international negotiation, D.L. Genaldo breaks down the mindset, the language, and the emotional discipline required to speak with authority, hold your ground, and protect your interests — at every table that matters.
Words from the People It Reached
"I highly recommend this book to women of any age — and men too. The author encourages her readers to speak their truths with compassion. She even gives them actual sentences to say."
