Managing Pressure While Negotiating At The Frontlines
Description
Humanitarian professionals often find themselves in dangerous, high-stakes or pressure-intense negotiations.
When this happens, they need to understand the impact that pressure has on the human brain and keep it at bay. In this episode, we talked with Dr Elena Qleibo Kogan about the effective strategies she has developed throughout her career - not just to manage her own pressure but also to care for her team’s mental health.
This is part of the third season of "Frontline Negotiators: Stories from the Field". It features personal stories told by humanitarian professionals as they negotiate to access, assist and protect people in crisis.
Across the season you will hear first-hand accounts from humanitarian workers from different backgrounds, agencies, nationalities and technical profiles who will share about the challenge of delivering aid in some of the most high-pressure environments in the world.
The series is produced by the Centre of Competence on Humanitarian Negotiation.
