Emotional Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence. The Future of Negotiation.


Negotiation isn’t just for boardrooms—it’s a daily skill that shapes your career, relationships, and future. Yet most people approach it as a battle of tactics, missing the real opportunity: connection, clarity, and mutual gain.


In The Negotiation Code, Guy Ellis blends the power of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) with the precision of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to revolutionize how you influence, collaborate, and lead. This isn’t about manipulation—it’s about mastering the psychology of human behavior and using strategy to create win-win outcomes.


You’ll learn how to:


• Build trust and influence before the conversation begins

• Use AI for smarter preparation and real-time decision-making

• Frame your message to shift resistance into alignment

• Apply the BEACONS™, Negotiation Grid™, and UNO™ frameworks to structure outcomes that stick


Whether you’re closing a business deal, leading a team, or navigating everyday conversations, The Negotiation Code gives you the tools to lead with confidence, connect with purpose, and shape outcomes—without anyone feeling like they’ve been “sold.”


Influence smarter. Lead better. Negotiate without limits.
