My interest in negotiation grew out of my experience managing high-stakes partnerships and deals. HOST: That's fascinating. Now let's talk about the course you're teaching, the Graduate Certificate in Social Media Deal Negotiation. What inspired you to create this program? GUEST: I noticed that there was a gap in the market for a course that specifically focused on negotiation in the context of social media. With the rise of influencer marketing and brand partnerships on social platforms, it's become increasingly important for professionals to have a solid understanding of how to negotiate effectively in this space. HOST: Absolutely, and I can see how that would be challenging given the unique dynamics of social media. Can you share some current industry trends relevant to the course? GUEST: Certainly. One trend we're seeing is the increasing importance of data and analytics in negotiation.

Another trend is the rise of AI and automation, which is changing the way we approach negotiation and communication. HOST: Those are definitely important factors to consider. Now, what would you say are some of the biggest challenges faced in this field or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is helping students unlearn some of the traditional negotiation strategies that may not be as effective in a social media context. Another challenge is staying up-to-date with the constantly changing landscape of social media and adapting the course content accordingly. HOST: That must keep you on your toes! Finally, what are your thoughts on the future of social media deal negotiation? Where do you see this field going? GUEST: I think we'll continue to see a shift towards more data-driven and automated negotiation processes. We'll also likely see more emphasis on building authentic and long-term relationships between brands and influencers. It's an exciting time to be in this field!
