246 - What are the five steps to a successful negotiation?

Somewhere in the universe, four men sit down at a conference table to discuss the elements of a successful negotiation. Although the members of this unusual group come to the table from widely disparate backgrounds and even realities, they also have a great deal in common. Each man is a leader of others, and has been involved in more than one occasion requiring keen negotiation skills. Four men with unique opinions, strong moral compasses and extensive experiences, they enter the discussion feeling confident in their ability to form an effective response to the question.

TM 245 - What's the first thing you remember?

245 - What's the first thing you remember?

I remember Dee. I remember her making a promise.

"It's okay. I'll be here when you wake up. I'll be right here."

Really, I only half-remember that. It was like the very last thing that happens in your dream, just before you start to actually wake up, an echo of whatever it was that was on your mind when your conscious thoughts aren't around to filter and rationalize and compensate. I remember her promising to be there when I woke up.
