Negotiating:  How to Get More in Business and Life!

Speaker:  Darren Morris, Schooley Mitchell

There are many misconceptions about negotiating, from Win-Win to Splitting the Difference.   Join us for a window into tools that might help in negotiating employment reviews, business deals, and understanding the opportunities in front of us all.   Darren has spent a lifetime negotiating, from matchbox cars and multi-million dollar deals to setting curfew’s with his 16 year old daughter.  From boardroom to living room, the art of negotiating is about getting a little bit more…more of what you want and can thrive from. 

As a business executive Darren led incredibly diverse teams across boardrooms to mechanic shops.  More importantly, he finds success in providing his family with positive interactions that help create future negotiators!  Today he has built a seven figure consulting firm in less than three years, helping organizations negotiate and optimize services across a wide variety of areas including Telecom, Waste, Shipping, Software-SaaS, Utilities, Laundry, Fuel, and other cool categories.  From Special Olympics to The New York Power Authority, every organization can benefit from a fresh perspective.

When not helping client’s, Darren brings a natural ability for fostering collaboration and influencing/building mutual successes for all stakeholders.  His passions include traveling with his amazing wife Kris and two daughters; Macy 16 and Mallory 14.  You can find him on a river trying to catch anything on a fly rod or on the links with golf clubs in hand.  Ask him about peanut butter.
