Treats every interaction as a deal with leverage and concessions. Opens extreme, never apologizes, reframes every concession as a win. Thinks in zero-sum terms.
Good for when you need to hold your ground under pressure, set an aggressive opening position, or rehearse a confrontation where the other side will try to rattle you.
Choose the ground of the conversation before the room defines it for you. Control the terrain.
Open with an extreme position that shifts the entire range of "reasonable" outcomes in your favor.
Practice fewer, stronger lines that survive interruption, pressure, and hostile cross-examination.
Build confidence, concession boundaries, and counterattack instincts for high-pressure confrontation.
