“I have used Dr. Joshua Weiss to provide Negotiation or Conflict Management Skills training to two different clients. Both times the sessions were excellent, and the participants’ evaluations were almost a perfect 5 out of 5. He is very good about customizing his materials to make them applicable to the client’s situation and offers follow-up to participants who want to contact him by e-mail. I’ve enjoyed meeting him and I’m looking forward to working with him in the future.”

“Dr. Weiss is an expert and excellent trainer in negotiation. His teaching style is inclusive and brings you into the topic as opposed to being afraid of it. His real-world knowledge of negotiation combined with his study of the best methods allows him to customize his lectures and responses to the needs of those in the class. He challenges his students to think outside the box when navigating disputes or conflicts thereby expanding their negotiation toolbox. What I really like about his teaching method is that he teaches principles that can be used in almost any situation. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in learning about negotiation.”
Cathy Anderson, Shire Pharmaceuticals
“The workshop that Dr. Weiss conducted was excellent, providing everyone in our small group with ideas and techniques that could be applied to both the professional and personal situations. A good part of the program’s success was a result of the effort he made beforehand to understand the particular circumstances of our group. This enabled him to tailor his examples and exercised to our specific needs. We would welcome an opportunity to work with him again.”
Terry Reeves, Mariposa Museum
"Josh is authentic, funny, humble, has a wealth of knowledge, and is at ease with a group that makes people feel immediately comfortable. We are grateful to have been on the receiving end of his talk and learned so very much from him."

“I found Dr. Weiss’s podcasts while browsing business podcasts on iTunes. My work requires a lot of talking and negotiating with customers and suppliers and my education is a primarily technical one in nature and I like his podcasts very much. What I like most are real-life examples that Dr. Weiss is using to explain some negotiating principles. He is not using just academic talk but real-life situations and that makes those tips much easier to apply and give them special value for me."
Mladen Kuzminski, Croatia, Europe
“I’m currently in Tel Aviv, Israel, where I teach Arab and Jewish graduate students Negotiation, Mediation and Conflict Management. I am sure that many of you also teach these subjects at various levels, so I want to share an assignment I gave my students which has proved very successful. I have my students listen to a podcast of their choosing and then write me a short paper summarizing what they learned and their reaction to it. They seem to enjoy it and learn a lot. Thank you, Dr. Weiss, for sharing your insights so broadly."
Ian Jamieson
“I have been listening to your podcasts for about six months. During this time I was involved in a protracted and difficult negotiation for a long term contract with a customer. I used the key principles discussed in the podcasts to progress the negotiations and reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. I also find that during more routine negotiations the principles also have application.”
Clif Krause
