What do you do if you need a confidence boost before a negotiation?
Consider, develop, and strengthen your "Plan B" - what will you do if you cannot reach an acceptable agreement? The power to say no or walk away from the negotiation can ground you in a sense of confidence of what you'll do if you cannot reach agreement. Your Plan B will also help you see the upside and value of reaching agreement if it's better for you, knowing you don't have to "win" on every point to improve your position through negotiation. See my UCLA Law professor Russell Korobkin's great book: The 5-Tool Negotiator. https://law.ucla.edu/news/power-persuasion-ucla-laws-russell-korobkin-shares-5-keys-negotiation
