While this conversation may be a little different from my usual guests and topics, it was incredibly enlightening—and it just might have a profound impact on the way you approach hard conversations. My guest is not only an FBI-trained hostage negotiator, but he’s also the person TEDx turned to in order to help a divided nation find common ground.
Scott Tillema is a global keynote speaker on high-stakes communication and negotiation. He has 20 years of experience in law enforcement and he rose to the role of a lead negotiator on one of the country’s largest SWAT teams.
