Cindy Watson's Journey: Feminine Negotiation and Mental Health Advocacy

For me, I'm on such a mission: to reframe negotiation. Yeah, and not just dealing with mental health, but, like I say, whether you're negotiating with your kids or your intimate partner or in the workplace for a salary increase.
Ever thought negotiation was just for boardrooms? Cindy Watson is here to change that. In this compelling episode of 'Affliction & Resilience', host Judy Mandel sits down with Cindy, a social justice attorney and author, to explore how negotiation skills can be a lifeline in the most unexpected places. Cindy, the brain behind 'The Power of Feminine Negotiation', shares her deeply personal story of advocating for her son diagnosed with schizophrenia. Her mission?
To reframe how we think about negotiation, using it not just in business but in navigating the complex mental health system. The conversation covers the impact of Covid-19 on mental health care, the importance of early diagnosis, and how the same skills that close deals can also break down stigma. Cindy's journey is a testament to the power of persuasion through a feminine lens, offering practical tools that anyone can use in their daily lives.
Whether you're dealing with a mental health crisis or simply trying to communicate better at home or work, this episode is packed with insights that could make a real difference.
