Negotiation — it’s a skill that’s often thought of when ironing out a deal or getting the best price on a piece of equipment. In reality, however, negotiation is an act that happens every day in our professional and personal lives and is a hallmark of a strong leader.

Tune in as AHRA Executive Director Jason Newmark sits down with Dr. Joshua Weiss, a leading expert in negotiation, to unpack the fundamentals of this practice and how it applies to the world of medical imaging.

Joining them is AHRA President Mario Pistilli, to offer his perspective on honing this critical skill. He draws on his personal experience, as well as his current role as the executive director of imaging services at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. 

From understanding how to navigate emotion in negotiation, to ways active listening plays a key role, the pitfalls of compromise, and more, this episode will leave you with several a-ha moments you’ll want to put into practice right away.

Tune in and subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.


Interested in learning more from Dr. Weiss? Join us Saturday, August 2 for his pre-conference workshop ahead of the AHRA Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, August 3-6. This hands-on workshop is designed for professionals of all levels, offering proven strategies and small group exercises.
