Meditation is seen as a way to relax, focus on yourself and clear your cluttered brain of extraneous and harmful thoughts. Dina Kaplan, in an article in Forbes magazine, wrote about how meditation may make you better at negotiation
She stated she thought meditation would help her in her personal life but it also helped her professionally. She says it “dramatically” improved her negotiation skills. Kaplan writes she was a “terrible” negotiator, often not getting what she wanted and angering the other party.
“I went from almost never getting what I wanted and leaving people upset to being so successful it almost scares me. Now I accomplish what I need and leave my counterpart feeling good about the deal and our relationship,” she writes, crediting her daily twenty minute meditation sessions.
