As part of Philip’s ‘Back-To-Basics’ range of highly effective and undervalued negotiation skills, this episode looks at the use of silence.

What is fundamentally a very simple technique, it, like a lot of the others we have covered in Episodes 13 & 14, is widely overlooked and underused.

Philip Williams is a former Hostage & Crisis Negotiator with the Metropolitan Police and UK Government and CEDR’s lead negotiation trainer.
