Neuroscientist Dr. Henry Mahncke, CEO of BrainHQ, will discuss what's happening in the brain of a negotiator (and in the brain of a person in crisis) during a crisis negotiation. Learn about how brain health issues in the person in crisis can create obstacles to a successful negotiation, and how negotiators who understand these issues (and optimize their own brain performance) can guide negotiations to a successful conclusion.
