Is there always a WINNER and LOSER in negotiations?
If I said people are upset, fearful and angry, you might assume I’m talking about U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs. And that’s because a day doesn’t go by when those tariffs and our reaction to them… make headlines. And there’s been intense scrutiny on the way Trump has approached tariffs – his negotiation strategy - which seems unpredictable. But is it? What’s behind Trump’s tactics? How effective are they? What can we learn from his actions and how can we better understand different styles of negotiation? Shai Dubey is an expert on negotiation and conflict management. He’s got valuable insight on an issue that’s affecting all of us.

Can you TRUST polls?
A day doesn’t go by when you’ll hear about a new survey or poll. And you might even be asked to participate. But just how credible are they?It’s one thing if we’re talking about “are we a dog or cat person” but quite another if we’re asked “who will we vote for in the next election” or “should we stop the flow of immigration?” These are weighty issues.Like it or not, polls and surveys are important. What do we need to know about them? What makes a good or bad poll? How do they influence our actions?We speak with an expert on polls who’ll tell us what to watch out for.

What you don’t know – and WHY IT MATTERS
We’ve never had so much information. But we don’t know what’s true.Billions of google searches occur daily, thousands of news items are published, hundreds of hours of content are uploaded on youtube, every minute. Radio, television, news articles, podcasts. We’re adrift in a storm of information chaos according to researcher Tim Caulfield who’s an expert on evaluating information and evidence. He says what we believe to be true and what is actually true can be miles apart. And that information can be dangerous. How do we steer our way clear of misinformation that can mislead and even harm us?
