The Power Imbalance: Winning Negotiations When the Odds Are Stacked Against You | The Tim Castle Show

In any negotiation, power is rarely equal. One side often holds more leverage—whether through money, authority, or access. But does that mean the weaker side is doomed? Absolutely not.

In this episode, we break down the concept of asymmetric power in negotiations—how to recognize it, navigate it, and even turn the tables in your favor.

What You’ll Learn:

🔹 The different types of power in negotiations—financial, informational, positional, and psychological
🔹 How to negotiate effectively when you’re the underdog
🔹 Strategies to shift the balance of power without brute force
🔹 Real-world examples of power imbalances and how expert negotiators handle them

💡 "Negotiation isn’t about who has more power—it’s about who knows how to use it best."

If you’ve ever felt outmatched in a negotiation—whether in business, salary discussions, or high-stakes deals—this episode is for you.
