Dr. Elaine Stageberg on Turning Her Patient Communication Skills Into a Valuable Negotiation Skill Set

Negotiation is a highly portable and transferable skill.

As physicians, we don’t immediately associate negotiation with what we do on a daily basis, but influencing our patients makes us far more skilled negotiators than we think.

I’m joined by a physician who took the negotiating skills she picked up in her patient interactions and applied them to a highly successful real estate business.

How do we shift our conversational skills into more of a business strategy?

How do we shift our mindset on negotiation so that we see it as a process of collaborative problem-solving?

In this episode, psychiatrist and owner of Black Swan Real Estate, Elaine Stageberg, shares how doctors can apply the negotiation skills we gain from our work to other areas of our lives.

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

• The power of a physician’s negotiation skills
  How do we apply the negotiation skills we pick up from communicating with patients to our other business ventures?
