Summary

Imagine an economy in which today's goods become tomorrow's resources and nothing is discarded.
Ellen MacArthur, the founder of her eponymous foundation, which works to accelerate the transition to a regenerative economy, writes that we need to stop living a "take, make, dispose" lifestyle. We need to think about a circular economy where waste and pollution are prevented, products are reused and natural systems such as agricultural land are regenerated.
This is the seventh essay in the Big Ideas series created by the European Investment Bank.
Available since: 01/11/2019.

    Here we are! You have managed to get a job interview by dint of sending CVs like an automatic machine gun! 
    The time has come! After so much wandering, a company has decided to see you first-hand! 
    All the hours spent filing your resume beyond belief, every evening spent behind the PC sifting through job offers, have finally served a purpose! 
    But now? 
    What to do? 
    At school, at university, no one taught you how to approach a job interview. 
    Panic: what answer and how to answer to the questions, talk little or a lot, dress elegant or sober, remain motionless or move with the body, shake hands or not, browse the company's website or get to the interview in a naive way, in order to be yourself? 
    If we would like to give an answer to all the mental blowjobs that will turn in your head, we just have to say that the truth is simple, damn simple. 
    But, as usual, when something is too simple, we don't consider it a viable option! 
    I'll tell you the secret right away! 
    To successfully pass a job interview, you need study, method and experience: 
    - study, because we need to examine our potential employer thoroughly, understand what he is looking for and what he expects from us 
    - method, because without a plan you can't go anywhere. Don't improvise. Train like a boxer. You are on the ring, and that employment contract must be yours! 
    - experience, because the first few times you will miss it. You will be discarded. Not because you're not good for that job, but because you still won't have the experience of a commander who has won 100 battles. It is normal, do not be discouraged. The sooner you understand where you went wrong in the first few battles, the sooner you will start winning! 
    Are you there so far? 
    Well, you are ready to listen to the audiobook!

    We all know how we want our next negotiation to end – with a good deal for us. However, what all too often we don't spend enough time on understanding is how important our ability to successfully argue our points will be in order to get to that desired deal.
    
    So much of what goes on in a negotiation is about power. Who has it, who is losing it, who is gaining it, and why. You have the ability to control the balance of power in a negotiation through the force of your arguments if you know how.
    
    What You'll Find Inside:
    POWER LOSS IN SALES NEGOTIATIONS
    HOW TO PLAY (& WIN) WHEN THERE’S ONLY ONE GAME IN TOWN
    GET YOUR ARMOR ON! 4 WAYS TO DEFEND YOUR PRICE DURING A SALES NEGOTIATION
    WHY IT’S OK FOR A SALES NEGOTIATOR TO BE WRONG
    
    Although no negotiation is just about price, it sure seems as though a great deal of our time and our negotiating energy is taken up by dealing with all of the issues surrounding both the price that we want and the price that we are willing to give. How your ability to argue is can have a significant impact on how good of a job you are going to be able to do in defending your price.
    
    Negotiating is all about strategies and techniques. In order to get what you want out of your next negotiation you need to learn how to use the pivot technique as a part of your argument strategy in order to create the opportunity for you to get the deal that you want.
    
    All too often we start to feel a great deal of pressure to make sure that we know everything about everything before the negotiations start. However, the good news is that recent discoveries have shown that you can still successfully win the arguments that naturally occur during a negotiation even if you don't know the answer to every possible question.
    
    The world of negotiating can be confusing and challenging. This book has been created to act as your guide as you explore how to boost your ability to successful argue during a negotiation. By using the ideas and techniques outlined in this book you can take control of the negotiations during arguments and drive the discussions towards achieving the deal that you are looking for.
