Enhance your team's negotiation skills and resolve conflicts more effectively with Daniel Shapiro, speaker, psychologist, and expert in negotiation and conflict resolution.
Daniel Shapiro is a psychologist and a leading authority in the fields of negotiation and conflict resolution. As the founder and director of the Harvard International Negotiation Program, Shapiro has dedicated his career to exploring the emotional and identity-based dimensions of conflict, offering unique insights into how these factors influence negotiations. His work is particularly relevant in today's complex global landscape, where understanding the human element in negotiations is crucial. Shapiro's expertise is not just theoretical; he has applied his knowledge in advising a range of organisations and governments, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the World Economic Forum. This practical experience enriches his presentations, making them not only informative but also directly applicable to real-world situations. His ability to translate complex psychological concepts into practical frameworks has made him a sought-after speaker in the realm of negotiation and conflict management. In addition to his advisory roles, Shapiro is also an accomplished author. He co-authored the influential book "Beyond Reason: Using Emotions as You Negotiate" with Roger Fisher. This work delves into the often-overlooked role of emotions in negotiations, providing readers with strategies to harness these emotions constructively. The book has been widely acclaimed for its innovative approach and practical advice, further cementing Shapiro's reputation as a thought leader in his field. Throughout his career, Shapiro has faced the challenge of bridging the gap between academic theory and practical application. His success in this endeavour is evident in the impact of his work, which continues to shape the way individuals and organisations approach negotiation and conflict resolution. With his engaging speaking style and deep understanding of human behaviour, Daniel Shapiro offers valuable perspectives that resonate with audiences worldwide.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker.
