                <title>Negotiation capability for leaders who need control, not compromise</title>
                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>Executive Summary
Negotiation is a leadership capability with direct impact on value, risk, speed, and relationships. Yet many organisations still negotiate by instinct rather than intent — shifting unconsciously between collaboration, competition, and confrontation.
This article explores how high-performing leaders make deliberate negotiation choices based on incentives, risk, and long-term value. It outlines the strengths and hidden costs of each negotiation approach, explains why unplanned concessions are one of the most persistent sources of value leakage, and shows how structured negotiation capability delivers measurable return on investment.
For organisations operating in complex, high-pressure environments, negotiation excellence is no longer optional. It is a strategic advantage.</description>

                <title>Trump&#39;s Negotiation Gambit: Redefining Global Power in 100 Days</title>
                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>The return of Donald Trump to the White House sets the stage for one of the most aggressive geopolitical negotiation plays in modern history. Facing a narrow 100-day window before Congress can counter his moves, Trump is expected to act swiftly, leveraging Ukraine, Russia, NATO, China, and the Middle East as bargaining chips to reconfigure global power dynamics.</description>

                <title>Trump’s Global Strategy Through the Lens of Negotiation and Double Thinking</title>
                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>Understanding Donald Trump’s approach to leadership, both in business and global politics, requires a negotiator’s mindset. His &quot;America First&quot; policy is often seen as either a bold correction of global imbalances or a reckless retreat from leadership. But what if it is both?

By applying double thinking—the ability to hold two seemingly contradictory ideas at once—we can see how Trump’s actions are both strategically rational and high-risk. More importantly, we can analyze his approach as a negotiation: one where leverage, pressure, and unpredictability are central to his tactics.

Let’s explore this paradox through the lens of negotiation strategy, power dynamics, and global influence.</description>

                <title>How Businesses Can Negotiate Smarter in a World of Tariffs</title>
                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>Key Takeaways (For Busy Readers!)

Tariffs are often used as political tools, not just economic policies. Both McKinley and Trump leveraged them to influence trade negotiations.

Rigid planning isn’t enough. Companies must prioritise preparation, ensuring they can adapt to shifting trade policies.

Negotiation skills are critical. Businesses that master strategic alliances, the Persuasion Paradox, and value-based negotiation can turn protectionist policies into opportunities.

Scotwork’s expert negotiation training helps businesses develop the agility to thrive in uncertain trade environments.</description>

                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>En marknad i f&#246;r&#228;ndring kan nog vara det enklaste s&#228;ttet att definiera vad som nu &#228;r p&#229; g&#229;ng i v&#229;r omv&#228;rld , b&#229;de lokalt likv&#228;l som globalt.

De flesta av oss skulle nog definiera att pandemin skulle vara en drivande kraft i marknadsf&#246;r&#228;ndringar, nu visar det sig att andra externa h&#228;ndelser har satt fart p&#229; det mesta i v&#229;r omv&#228;rld.

Sj&#228;lvklart kommer de ske konsekvenser f&#246;r oss alla b&#229;de privat och kommersiellt, hur bra eller d&#229;ligt det blir i vissa fall kan vi bara spekulera i.</description>

                <title>Var g&#229;r gr&#228;nsen?</title>
                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>Var g&#229;r gr&#228;nsen egentligen innan en eller flera parter v&#228;ljer att g&#229; fr&#229;n bordet ?

Det har nog inte g&#229;tt n&#229;gon f&#246;rbi som ser p&#229; tv att en st&#246;rre teleleverant&#246;r och en inneh&#229;llsleverant&#246;r anv&#228;nt sina kunder som slagtr&#228; de senaste &#229;ren, d&#228;r det nu g&#229;tt s&#229; l&#229;ngt att vi nu inte har alla kanaler l&#228;ngre.

Det h&#228;r med att konflikter blir offentliga och att parter v&#228;ljer att inte vara tillm&#246;tesg&#229;ende har sina f&#246;rklaringar om man v&#228;ljer att titta runt lite p&#229; andra kundrelationer genom tiderna.

Ofta &#228;r det ett resultat av att de &#229;rliga f&#246;rhandlingarna kanske har n&#229;tt ett avslut, men en eller flera av parterna &#228;r inte n&#246;jda utan uppfattar det som att det blivit tvingade av olika anledningar till eftergifter de egentligen inte vill s&#228;ga ja till.

Den ena parten &#228;r n&#246;jd, kanske f&#246;r att de har en maktposition som g&#246;r att de egentligen inte upplever att de beh&#246;ver f&#246;rhandla utan mer v&#228;ljer att diktera villkoren och omv&#228;rlden f&#229;r r&#228;tta och packa sig d&#228;refter som Karl den 11 en g&#229;ng i tiden signerade sina brev med.</description>

                <description>Omf&#246;rhandling av avtal?

En av de vanligaste fr&#229;gorna vi nu f&#229;r &#228;r hur en del kunder skall h&#246;ja sina priser och hur andra har utmaningen av att sitta p&#229; andra sidan bordet och ta emot en prish&#246;jning.

En annan fr&#229;ga &#228;r hur man kan omf&#246;rhandla ett avtal, d&#229; omst&#228;ndigheterna f&#246;r&#228;ndrats till den milda grad att man inte l&#228;ngre har en l&#246;nsamhet.</description>

                <title>Pris och kostnads&#246;kningar?</title>
                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>Det var nog en v&#228;lbeh&#246;vlig semester f&#246;r m&#229;nga av oss, en ledighet som de flesta sett fram emot och som redan i b&#246;rjan av &#229;ret planerades med gl&#228;dje efter att ha varit hemma en l&#228;ngre tid.

Tyv&#228;rr s&#229; visade det sig att pris&#246;kningarna i princip slog till i alla kategorier och branscher direkt, s&#229; medan n&#229;gra av oss letade vidare p&#229; utlands semestrar, s&#229; best&#228;mde sig en del f&#246;r att fira semestern h&#228;r hemma.

Redan i vintras &#246;ver julen, s&#229; fick vi en f&#246;rsta upplevelse av vad energipriser kunde stiga till, n&#229;got som m&#228;rkligt nog inte f&#229;tt s&#229; stor uppm&#228;rksamhet som det rimligtvis borde ha f&#229;tt.</description>

                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>Har du n&#229;gonsin k&#228;nt dig stressad eller pressad i en f&#246;rhandling? 

Det &#228;r kanske inte helt ovanligt att f&#246;rhandlingar kan uppfattas som b&#229;de stressiga och pressande f&#246;r en eller b&#229;da parterna i en f&#246;rhandling.

Det &#228;r heller inte ovanligt att det &#228;r en avsiktlig strategi att uts&#228;tta sin motpart f&#246;r p&#229;tryckningar och hot eller i varjefall vad de kan undvika om de v&#228;ljer att vara medg&#246;rliga tilll en &#246;verenskommelse.

M&#229;nga g&#229;nger n&#228;r vi ser p&#229; f&#246;rhandlingsresultat eller n&#228;r vi i efterhand eller inf&#246;r en kommande f&#246;rhandling skall hj&#228;lpa till med r&#229;d och d&#229;d, s&#229; tittar vi alltid p&#229; vad som h&#228;nt historiskt i relationen.

                <description>Det kan knappast ha undg&#229;tt n&#229;gon hur v&#229;r omv&#228;rld g&#229;r fr&#229;n den ena utmaningen till den andra, inte nog med att vi precis kommit igenom pandemin, i varje fall tillf&#228;lligt, s&#229; hopar sig orosmolnen i horisonten.

Hur illa &#228;r det d&#229; om man tar sig tid att fr&#229;ga runt bland olika k&#228;llor, v&#228;nner och f&#246;retag i v&#229;r omv&#228;rld?

M&#228;rkligt nog , s&#229; k&#246;r det p&#229; f&#246;r fullt f&#246;r m&#229;nga, lagren &#228;r hos en del redan tomma och det som s&#229;lts har inneburit att n&#228;r det v&#228;l skall levereras, s&#229; &#228;r det inte ovanligt att leveransen kommer med en pris&#246;kning.

Skulle du mot f&#246;rmodan v&#228;lja att backa ur ditt k&#246;p, s&#229; finns det andra som gladeligen tar &#246;ver din order, tyv&#228;rr kan de flesta inte tacka nej, d&#229; det direkt har konsekvenser i deras egna verksamhet, speciellt om det &#228;r produktion eller projektstyrt. </description>

                <description>Fler och fler kunder tr&#228;nar sig i kommande aff&#228;rsdialoger med sina kunder genom att s&#228;tta upp aff&#228;rssimulatorer som tr&#228;nar sina anst&#228;llda p&#229; samma vis som flygindustrin tr&#228;nar sina piloter.

Egentligen &#228;r det kanske inte s&#229; konstigt att tr&#228;na sig i kommande aff&#228;rsf&#246;rhandlingar om man t&#228;nker efter, likv&#228;l som vi inte bara tr&#228;nar v&#229;ra sportlag och piloter i ren teori med hj&#228;lp av bara powerpoint slides.

Vi p&#229; Scotwork utg&#229;r helt ifr&#229;n f&#246;retaget, branch och deltagaren, erfaren som oerfaren inom f&#246;rhandling eller om de tidigare bara k&#246;rt s&#228;ljkurser och byggt sin verksamhet p&#229; att &#246;vertala sin motpart.

Som global leverant&#246;r med representation i de flesta l&#228;nder runt om i v&#228;rlden och med tung erfarenhet av b&#229;de lokala marknader med dominanta motparter som systematisk s&#228;tter press p&#229; sina motparter, s&#229; kan vi alltid tillf&#246;ra en h&#229;llbar strategi samt taktiska finesser som bygger p&#229; erfarenhet sen vi b&#246;rjade 1975.

                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>F&#246;r min egen del s&#229; blev det aktuellt i h&#246;stas att byta till elbil, d&#229; v&#229;rt 3 &#229;riga leasingavtal gick ut.

Som s&#229; m&#229;nga andra s&#229; b&#246;rjade jag titta p&#229; alternativen, d&#229; det bara blev dyrare och dyrare att ha en dieselbil, d&#229; politiker gjorde sitt b&#228;sta f&#246;r att g&#246;ra det s&#229; kostsamt som m&#246;jligt att ha en bensin eller dieselbil som sitt f&#246;rsta val.

Valet att ta en elbil byggde mycket p&#229; den kostnadsbild som fanns i september 2021 och de indikationer som fanns kring hur det skulle se ut i 2022 och n&#229;tt &#229;r fram&#229;t.

Vad var det d&#229; som p&#229;verkade mina val mest om jag skulle summera mitt beslut, ja det &#228;r r&#228;tt enkelt att s&#228;tta ord till, sanktioner och &#229;ter sanktioner, sen kan milj&#246;aspekten ocks&#229; ha en betydelse, &#228;ven om jag har en del funderingar p&#229; vad en elbil inneh&#229;ller i j&#228;mf&#246;relse med dess livstid.</description>

                <description>Det &#228;r v&#228;l ingen som missat att det kommer en del pris&#246;kningar i 2022, en kostnads&#246;kning som i m&#229;nga aff&#228;rsrelationer inneb&#228;r att deras kunder reagerar v&#229;ldsamt.

En del kunder har f&#246;rst&#229;else f&#246;r pris&#246;kningen medan en del andra absolut inte kan t&#228;nka sig en &#246;kning utan s&#228;tter sig p&#229; tv&#228;ren p&#229; alla vis de kan.

Hur skall man d&#229; hantera dessa kostnads&#246;kningar p&#229; b&#228;sta vis?</description>

God mat, gott s&#228;llskap &#228;r viktiga sm&#229; kryddor i julst&#246;ket tillsammans med julklappar, barn och barnbarn som snabbt v&#228;xer och som tar sina olika karri&#228;rsteg i ett helt annat samh&#228;llsklimat &#228;n n&#228;r jag var i samma &#229;lder.

Dessa stora f&#246;r&#228;ndringarna kan m&#229;nga g&#229;nger ses som omv&#228;lvande, speciellt om det sker p&#229; ett par &#229;r, d&#228;r det f&#246;r m&#229;nga kan upplevas som de inte har ett val, utan omst&#228;ndigheter omkring oss styr ett vist beteende.

Just nu &#228;r det m&#229;nga som gjort ett stort val och g&#229;tt &#246;ver till en elbil och till detta skall l&#228;ggas  att de senaste tv&#229; &#229;ren &#228;ndrat k&#246;pbeteende markant f&#246;r m&#229;nga, f&#246;r att inte tala om att en del behov har f&#229;tt v&#228;nta medan andra nu byggs upp i snabb takt.

                <description>Utvecklingen med att nu Polen b&#246;rjat &#246;verpr&#246;va sitt medlemskap s&#229; h&#228;r i efterhand kan s&#228;kert argumenteras ur en rad olika perspektiv.

F&#246;r inte s&#229; l&#228;nge sedan s&#229; var det UK som tog ett beslut att ta en annan inriktning i sin roll med att vara med eller inte inom EU, fr&#229;gan &#228;r nu vad som kommer h&#228;nda p&#229; b&#229;de kort och l&#229;ng sikt.

Personligen s&#229; kan jag se en rad olika orsaker till den uppkoma situationen samt en hel del liknelser historiskt, s&#229; mitt intresse i fr&#229;gorna &#228;r inte s&#229; mycket utifr&#229;n om EU &#228;r bra eller inte f&#246;r Europa, utan mer utifr&#229;n perspektivet av vad som h&#228;nder och varf&#246;r.

F&#246;r att r&#246;ja eventuella spekulationer ur v&#228;gen, s&#229; kan jag redan nu p&#229;tala att jag &#228;r f&#246;r EU och kan se stora risker med att vi inte h&#229;ller ihop ur ett Europeiskt perspektiv, riskerna &#228;r i f&#246;rsta hand rent handelspolitiskt men sj&#228;lvklart &#228;ven rent s&#228;kerhetspolitiskt.</description>

                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>Nu n&#228;r allt officiellt &#246;ppnar upp igen, s&#229; f&#229;r fler och fler en l&#228;ngre resa f&#246;r dagen d&#229; de nu skall b&#246;rja pendla men &#228;ven bes&#246;ka kunder och leverant&#246;rer som man tidigare mest f&#229;tt k&#246;ra &#246;ver video eller telefon.

Fr&#229;gar man runt, s&#229; &#228;r det r&#228;tt m&#229;nga som tycker det varit ungef&#228;r som innan, dvs de har pendlat till jobb och inte som en del andra haft m&#246;jligheten att jobba hemifr&#229;n av olika anledningar.

Pejlar man &#228;ven av bland v&#228;nner och tidigare arbetskollegor, s&#229; b&#246;rjar man se att en del konsulter tagit steget att helt l&#228;mna Sverige &#228;ven om de aktivt jobbar p&#229; den svenska marknaden.

                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>Hur sv&#229;rt kan det vara att faktiskt hitta en &#246;verenskommelse, &#228;ven om man tycker helt olika och kanske tom inte ens egentligen vill ha med varandra att g&#246;ra?

F&#246;r m&#229;nga &#229;r sedan n&#228;r jag i mitt jobb coachade aff&#228;rscoacher i olika delar av Sverige , s&#229; var det inte ovanligt att jag ibland sprang p&#229; interna coacher som tappat intresset av att coacha en del lokala s&#228;ljare, d&#229; de ans&#229;gs vara ocoachbara.

Jag tror vi alla kan relatera till olika situationer, allt i fr&#229;n skilsm&#228;ssor till &#246;ppna konflikter b&#229;de inom familjen men absolut &#228;ven i v&#229;ra jobb d&#228;r vi av olika anledningar m&#229;ste hitta fram till l&#246;sningar trots att det ser om&#246;jligt ut.

Funderar vi vidare och tar en titt bland politiska partier eller varf&#246;r inte mellan olika l&#228;nder och politiska &#229;sk&#229;dningar, s&#229; kan vi s&#228;kert se att &#228;ven i krig s&#229; beh&#246;vs det &#246;verenskommelser &#228;ven om man i stort inte &#228;r &#246;verens.

                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>F&#246;r ett otr&#228;nat &#246;ga s&#229; &#228;r det v&#228;ldigt l&#228;tt att uppfatta den Svenska politiska arenan som v&#228;ldigt r&#246;rig och infekterad.

Som tr&#228;nare, coach, kursledare och konsult inom f&#246;rhandlingsteknik s&#229; jobbar vi regelbundet med att analysera och tr&#228;na folk i hur de skall agera i olika situationer, speciellt i att n&#229; uppg&#246;relser &#228;ven om man inte har samsyn i olika fr&#229;gor.

En stor del av v&#229;r tid g&#229;r till att att djupanalysera vad som sker i en f&#246;rhandling s&#229; det &#228;r det nog inte s&#229; konstigt att vi sm&#229;ler och ibland skrattar &#229;t hur v&#229;ra politiker agerar i olika situationer.

 F&#246;r oss blir det snabbt v&#228;ldigt snabbt tydligt vad det &#228;r som sker och varf&#246;r det sker, en typ av analys vi regelbundet g&#246;r p&#229; v&#229;ra deltagare n&#228;r vi k&#246;r v&#229;ra kurser.

                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>Vi har alla nog tr&#228;ffat en hel del s&#228;ljare och konsulter genom tiderna, b&#229;de duktiga, mindre duktiga och i alla dess former beroende p&#229; vad de s&#228;ljer, vad f&#246;r f&#246;retag de representerar och vilka produkter och tj&#228;nster de erbjuder.

Intressant nog s&#229; &#228;r de ofantligt stor skillnad p&#229; hur olika s&#228;ljare agerar, en del &#228;r v&#228;ldigt intensiva och skall vinna alla dialoger genom att st&#228;ndigt &#246;vertala, en t&#228;vlingsinst&#228;llning som mer handlar om att vinna och mindre om att l&#246;sa ett  kundbehov.

Fr&#229;gar man runt och tittar p&#229; vad som f&#246;rv&#228;ntas av en s&#228;ljare i framtiden, s&#229; &#228;r det n&#228;stan fr&#229;gan om det inte skulle vara en h&#246;gskoleutbildning eller i varje fall en Master titel som grund.</description>

                <description>I dagens aff&#228;rsv&#228;rld s&#229; kan vi ibland st&#228;lla oss fr&#229;gan vad som egentligen &#228;r en bra aff&#228;rs&#246;verenskommelse mellan tv&#229; eller flera parter.

Intressant nog s&#229; definieras detta ofta endast av pengar och marginaler, fr&#229;gan &#228;r mer om det finns andra dimensioner som borde vara med i utv&#228;rderingen och som kanske &#228;r viktigare &#246;ver tid.

Ta bara begreppet vinna-vinna, vad menar vi egentligen med det n&#228;r vi s&#228;ger det i en aff&#228;rsf&#246;rhandling, ofta inledande eller f&#246;r att kratta manegen inf&#246;r kommande aff&#228;rsf&#246;rhandling.

                <description>Intressant att f&#246;lja en rad olika h&#228;ndelser i v&#229;r omv&#228;rld, oavsett hur l&#229;ng borta det &#228;r s&#229; har det p&#229; olika vis en p&#229;verkan h&#228;r hemma i v&#229;r egen omgivning.

S&#229;rbarheten &#228;r l&#229;ngt st&#246;rre &#228;n vad man kanske inledningsvis kunde gissa sig till, n&#228;stan s&#229; fj&#228;rilseffekten kan till&#228;mpas p&#229; h&#228;ndelser h&#228;r hemma och i utlandet.

Containerbristen i v&#228;rlden har vi f&#229;tt h&#246;ra ett bra tag om, obalansen g&#246;r att containrar tenderar att samlas  p&#229; vissa v&#228;rldsmarknaden.

Detta har g&#229;tt s&#229; l&#229;ngt att transportpriserna radikalt p&#229;verkats och bristen g&#246;r att Kina valt att k&#246;pa upp och ta hem stor del av de volymer som finns.</description>

Redan nu kan vi se att en del gamla s&#228;tt att h&#229;lla presentation &#228;r en snabb gl&#228;djed&#246;dare som p&#229; mindre &#228;n 5 sekunder g&#246;r att motparter tappar helt intresse i att lyssna eller vara del av ett m&#246;te.

&#214;verlag, s&#229; &#228;r det m&#229;nga som har klarat sig bra och som nu i 2021 b&#246;rjar fundera p&#229; om det &#228;r en tillf&#228;llighet, eller om det kommer att h&#229;lla i sig med pandemin, eller om det kommer att ske fler f&#246;r&#228;ndringar fram&#246;ver f&#246;r oss alla.

                <description>Have you ever tried out a simulator, not only on a computer with a joystick or a mouse, but physically sitting in one, flying or driving a plane or a vehicle?

I have actually tried a lot of them over the years, even tried sitting in a pilot flight simulator for the 1970s to more modern once like driving a race car.

I have also been a game master when you played D&amp;D and other more complicated games with rulebooks with enough rules to take a bachelor&#39;s degree.</description>

F&#246;r v&#229;r egen del s&#229; har allt fullkomligt rivstartat efter sommaren, d&#229; vi i dialog med en rad olika f&#246;retag och organisationer i princip bara v&#228;ntat p&#229; hur utvecklingen skulle se ut och om l&#228;get skulle vara v&#228;rre eller b&#228;ttre p&#229; den Svenska och Nordiska marknaden.</description>

In some cases they will bring back old ways of doing things, and in other cases they will force us to totally adapt to new ways of how we live our life, and conduct our business.</description>

                <description>“What can&#39;t be cured, must be endured”, until better times are upon us, old German proverb that catches the times some companies now act in.

It’s quite interesting to see that some companies are having a field day while others are trying to stay alive.

When I reach out to different clients I get all kind of interactions, some are closed down, others are run by a skeleton crew, some are conducting business as before, while others are in a rush, and can barely keep up with demands.</description>

                <description>Now and then, when I see a business deal in progress, I get an impression very early on, that one side is doing all the work, while the other side is just waiting for more.

It is so obvious some times when one side is to eager to get a deal, that they are throwing everything they got on the issues at hand, in hope that it will make the deal happen.</description>

                <description>One conclusion is that we are all trained to argue and to try and persuade others into seeing the world as we do, and if they don’t, try harder, if necessary, use force.

Most sales trainings that I have attended in my life has the same concept and build on the perception to persuade, or by manipulation, get you what you want.</description>

                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>Well, here we are, and things has not developed quite as you have expected it to do, so what now, what are your plans, and is there anything else you can do to improve your situation?

It is quite common that plans, strategies, and tactics do not always develop the way we expect and, as in most cases, different factors will have an impact on your business.

In most cases it’s something you did not see coming, or even if you did, it was not as great a problem, but in combination with a few other happenings, it can become devastating.</description>

                <description>Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you have been lied to, or worse, where you have lied or at least painted a better picture of the truth?

Well you are not alone, a majority of people on both sides lies or at least gives the impression that topics and issues are better or worse than what you should expect.

Many of the topics people or organizations discuss when it comes to reaching an agreement and results that would be favorable for both sides are in many cases not the whole truth.</description>

                <description>First of all, I must say Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you all, and what a year it has been, and what a lovely Christmas we just had.

It is always nice to meet family and friends over some nice food and wine, it’s also nice to enjoy being together and see the grandchildren and getting to know them better.

I sometimes wonder what world my grandchildren will be growing up in and if they one day will come and ask us about some of the events happening around us lately.</description>

                <description>The translations of the Latin quote differ, but if I simplify it, I would translate it into “He who dares, wins.”

 For those of you who know about military history, you will probably associate the quote with SAS, or Special Air Service as they are called around the world.

 Common for all SAS actions are, that in all of them, the initiative and actions are all due to proactive and determent men, who keep on going no matter the odds or circumstances.

 It’s all about ceasing the initiative and letting the momentum stay in your favour and to keep the opponent guessing where you are, where you are going and what your goal is.</description>

Dessa f&#246;rhandlingar &#228;r ofta &#229;terkommande &#229;r efter &#229;r och parterna skall dels g&#229; igenom resultatet men samtidigt komma &#246;verens om framtida volymer, &#229;taganden, prestationer och motprestationer.

F&#246;r en del s&#229; har dessa f&#246;rhandlingar redan p&#229;g&#229;tt i flera m&#229;nader, f&#246;r andra s&#229; v&#228;ntar de fortfarande p&#229; att f&#229; tr&#228;ffa sin motpart av olika anledningar.

F&#246;r n&#229;gra &#228;r dessa f&#246;rhandlingar b&#229;de trevliga och till m&#246;tesg&#229;ende, men f&#246;r andra &#228;r det en pressad period som f&#246;r vissa betyder att de m&#229;sta betala en &quot;grindslant&quot; f&#246;r att f&#229; komma till f&#246;rhandlingsbordet.</description>

                <description>Well, Brexit is definitely turning in to a nightmare for everyone, it will become a reality show well worth following, and for our historians, something they will analyse for ages.

One thing is for sure, the doom and gloom of Brexit is becoming a reality that most of us has to endure or suffer while we try to conduct our everyday business with hope of success.

I am not sure we will be bailed out if we need some help, especially if things get out of control, the options left are now down to ”No deal” or ”Extension”.</description>

                <description>All kinds of relationships can easily become difficult, not necessarily because people are evil or that they have a hidden agenda they are trying to pursue.

Things have a tendency some times to develop in to the wrong direction due to external factors that in the end will affect your business or the relationship you are in.

It&#39;s also quite common that business relationships over time take the wrong turn, especially when one side has the power and uses it to push the other one too far, typically over price.</description>

                <author>Christopher Bell Blomquist</author>
                <description>In 1806 Napol&#233;on Bonaparte tried to force England to submission before undertaking an invasion by sea from France.

Napol&#233;ons idea was to starve England by blocking British harbours from trading with Europe.

Historically it did not quite go the way it was suppose to go for either party, but in the end it proved vain and England slowly came back trading with all countries and former enemies.</description>

                <description>Way back, Monthy Python made a great sketch about a man who would like to pay for arguing, the famous sketch started off with a short dialogue, that suddenly ends with John Cleese saying, &quot;Time is up&quot;, and the man answering &quot;No it isn&#39;t&quot; and John says &quot;Yes it is&quot;.

It is so easy to sometimes fall into the trap of expressing an opinion, and ending up in a furious argument over a principal that none of us will ever back down from.</description>

                <description>It&#39;s quite nice to be able to have a job that you enjoy doing, or in some cases also as your hobby. Recently I was asked by friends if we were going to the UK for business or for pleasure?

I quickly replied: business is my pleasure, a remark that can be used once customs are back due to Brexit, just to make it a bit more tricky for them to stop you doing what ever you are doing in England.</description>

                <description>&quot;Do ut des&quot; in latin means &quot; I give so that you may give&quot;, a form of transaction that occurs in many different relationships .

Nowadays I do not watch television as much as before, mostly because I hate all the commercials that interrupts all the time, at best I record a film and watch it later, but in most cases I watch Netflix or some other streaming media when it suits me.

The other day I was looking at the German series called &quot;Berlin Babylon&quot;, on SVT1, an interesting series in may ways, love watching how people lived in the 1920s-1930s, and how they reacted to the political conditions after the Great war in Berlin.</description>

                <description>You can not be anything but worried about how things in our world seem, as they are spinning out of control. 

It does not make it easier to try and understand it all by following what the media and the press are writing about everything.

Most because they do not make it easier to understand, especially when most of their efforts are put into just explaining what is happening and not why things are happening.</description>

                <description>Lyfter man blicken lite och f&#246;ljer med i vad som h&#228;nder i v&#229;r omv&#228;rld, s&#229; kan man inte bli annat &#228;n orolig &#246;ver hur saker och ting utvecklar sig just nu.

Som vanligt s&#229; &#228;r inte utmaningen i att f&#246;lja med i allt , utan snarare f&#246;rs&#246;ka skapa sig en egen bild av vad som kan ha konsekvenser eller inte p&#229; l&#229;ng eller kort sikt.

Det hj&#228;lper heller inte att g&#229; och oroa sig, de flesta saker som man oroar sig f&#246;r h&#228;nder aldrig, och det som h&#228;nder har man ofta inte kunnat f&#246;rutse.</description>

                <description>It is quite interesting to have the possibility to pick someone&#39;s brain when you know they got the knowledge  you are looking for, and if they have a lifetime of experience that you would love to get access to.

It is not always the case that they will give you the advice or answer you are looking for, especially when you either don&#39;t have the right relationship with them, or when there is not enough trust between you.</description>

                <description>It is one thing that we run a lot of courses and trainings with different companies, in many cases it is all about training them into how they can be successful in their own world and in their own business cases in a proper way, and still stay in control.

Once you are trained and have learned our skills, you sometimes need som guidance in how you can become even more successful in your own businesses and also get a consultants view on what other options you have, to reach the best possible outcome.</description>

                <description>One of the most common request we get from our participants and clients, are that they would like to be more in control, be more confident, and to have a great tool box that they can use in different situations that occur.

The issues they bring up, on both sides, are that the customers are not responding, to long presentations, not addressing the right issues, too much time spent on arguing back and forth, price focus and not listening well enough.</description>

                <description>When people have treated me badly over the years, I used to become angry or frustrated, now a days I do not care anymore, I smile a little inside and, try to figure out if it is a trained behavior or if I have, by misstake, given them an opportunity to do so.

More and more customers ask for real case trainings, or a workshop where they can train how to respond to different attitudes and different styles, depending on what they are trying to achieve or at least avoid in some circumstances.</description>

                <description>Now there is less than a month left to Brexit, and if nothing is done by either side to find a suitable solution, then I am afraid we all are in harms way, one way or the other.

It is not that easy that just one side will be hit and another will prevail, the world is no longer that simple even tough some people think it is.</description>
