Masterclass: How Top Performers Negotiate Through Fear and Failure

Your biggest negotiation obstacle isn’t the other person — it’s the voice in your head telling you to play small. In this Negotiation Masterclass edition of Negotiate Anything, we tackle one of the most invisible yet destructive forces in high-stakes conversations: self-doubt. Through powerful stories and perspectives from leaders across industries, this episode reveals how hesitation, fear of failure, and internal criticism quietly sabotage confidence, decision-making, and outcomes. You’ll learn how top performers push forward even when confidence is shaky, why emotional setbacks don’t mean you’re failing, and how resilience — not certainty — is the real advantage in negotiation and life. From rebuilding momentum after a loss to trusting your instincts under pressure, this masterclass reframes self-doubt as a signal — not a stop sign. If you’ve ever held back, second-guessed yourself, or wondered whether you’re truly ready for the next big opportunity, this episode will give you the mindset shift you need to move forward anyway.
