Get ready to transform how you negotiate.

For the first time ever, I’ll be headlining the Negotiation Mastery Summit—and I’ll be joined by the entire Black Swan Group team. This exclusive two-day event is designed to help you master high-stakes negotiations with real-world, battle-tested strategies. Whether you’re closing deals, leading a team, or just sharpening your skills, you’ll walk away with the tools to thrive.

I’m thrilled to share that in 2025, we’re bringing this event to you. This one feels different—bigger, more impactful—and it’s for people who are serious about taking control of their lives. We’ve got the whole team—Derek, Marcella, Sandy, Nick, Jorge—everyone’s on board. We’re pulling from decades of experience in some of the toughest negotiations you can imagine, and we’re putting it all on the table.

When I wrote Never Split the Difference, I couldn’t have predicted the impact it would have. Now, we’re taking it even further—showing people how to break through barriers and unlock their full potential.

I can already feel the energy that’ll be in the room. People will leave with a new mindset and confidence, ready to change their lives. This one is going to be special, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
