On Wednesday, September 11, the Industry Business Council invites you to its Quarterly Executive Luncheon featuring Chris Voss, a former FBI international hostage negotiator and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of “Never Split the Difference”.
Chris Voss brings his extensive experience in international crisis and high-stakes negotiations to the business world, sharing powerful tools like tactical empathy for successful outcomes.
Before his business career, Chris served as the FBI's lead international kidnapping negotiator and represented the U.S. at G-8 conferences as a kidnapping expert. He was also the lead Crisis Negotiator for the FBI's New York City Division, involved in high-profile cases like the TWA Flight 800 catastrophe and the Blind Sheikh case.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear riveting stories of criminal negotiations, practical tips for business, and personal anecdotes from Chris's extraordinary career. Learn why getting your counterpart to say your name is crucial, why "yes" might not be the answer you want, and how to uncover real motivations in any conversation.
ABOUT CHRIS VOSS: Prior to 2008, Chris was the lead international kidnapping negotiator for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as the FBI’s hostage negotiation representative for the National Security Council’s Hostage Working Group. During his government career, he also represented the U.S. Government at two (2) international conferences sponsored by the G-8 as an expert in kidnapping. Prior to becoming the FBI lead international kidnapping negotiator, Christopher served as the lead Crisis Negotiator for the New York City Division of the FBI. Christopher was a member of the New York City Joint Terrorist Task Force for 14 years. He was the case agent on such cases as TERRSTOP (the Blind Sheikh Case – Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman), and the TWA Flight 800 catastrophe and negotiated the surrender of the first hostage taker to give up in the Chase Manhattan bank robbery hostage taking.
During Chris’s 24-year tenure in the Bureau, he was trained in the art of negotiation by not only the FBI but Scotland Yard and Harvard Law School. He is also a recipient of the Attorney General’s Award for Excellence in Law Enforcement and the FBI Agents Association Award for Distinguished and Exemplary Service.
