You’ll practice useful language for describing the whole story represented in your charts and graphs and use strategies for staying calm and avoiding defensiveness when challenged. With Catherine as a model in The Challenge, you’ll be off to a good start.

After completing this week, you’ll be able to follow a process and use the language for negotiating win-win solutions.
