This week, we lay the groundwork for how personality, emotional regulation, and awareness all play into navigating conversations that matter.  I sat down with Attia Qureshi\u2014an expert in negotiation and persuasion\u2014but what unfolds isn\u2019t just about getting what you want. It\u2019s about why we want what we want\u2026and what\u2019s really driving us underneath it all. Attia shares a moment of deep rejection from her childhood that led her to build what she calls an \u201cexoskeleton\u201d of strength. And as we talked, it became clear how many of us are still walking around with some version of that same armor\u2014negotiating, relating, and even loving from a place of protection rather than connection. We explored how that plays out in everyday life\u2014how we handle conflict, how we ask for what we need, how we respond when we feel threatened or unseen. And what I appreciated most about Attia is that she doesn\u2019t just talk about tactics\u2014she talks about transformation. About moving from control to curiosity. From winning to understanding. From guarding yourself\u2026to actually showing up. This is such an interesting topic that we invited Attia back for a second episode, where we go even deeper into her book Never Settle and unpack how her core negotiation strategies apply to each Enneagram type. Think of it as taking everything we talk about today and making it incredibly practical and personal for how you move through the world. And to help you get started, Attia has put together a fantastic Negotiation by Enneagram Type cheat sheet you can grab at attiaqureshi.com\/typology. Pull up a chair. This one\u2019s going to get under the hood\u2014in the best possible way.   ","author_name":"Typology","author_url":"http:\/\/www.typologypodcast.com","html":"
