Adam is a catchy lecturer. He can attract and keep attention. Hela tid a. He is obviously skilled with a big practice in negotiation as his training was really “hands on”. I appreciate the time dedicated to practical training on different cases. AiSO Adam is good at making a friendly and comfortable atmosphere to feel secure. I strongly recommend Adam as a negotiator as well as a trainer. I enjoyed the whole training.

I’m delighted to share this recommendation for Radim, a remarkable individual whose contribution to any project or event is invaluable. Radim embodies authenticity, never hesitating to embrace openness and vulnerability. At the conference in Prague, organized by the Association of Negotiators, among others, where I had the honour of speaking about Toxic Personalities, Radim's extraordinary attention to guest experience shone brightly, reflecting his deep commitment and warmth. Despite any language barriers, his presentation was not only heartwarming and honest but inspiring. Radim’s unwavering dedication to ensuring a positive experience for all participants is admirable and a testament to his exceptional character.

The Negotiation training for Globus ČR, led by Adam Dolejš, exceeded not only my expectations, but also that of other colleagues. Despite the time and content intensive training, which lasted two days, Adam managed to keep the attention of all 16 participants until the very end with his individual and professional approach, which for me was admirable and I rate very positively. I take advice and tips from training not only into my professional but also personal life. It was a great pleasure to meet you and thank you for your time.

I met Adam as a lecturer at Key Account Negotiator training. His 25-hour focused output is one of those moments that can significantly kick-start your career. On Adam in the front row, I appreciate his professionalism. His extensive knowledge of negotiation, business and human relations has given me a whole new perspective on how to perceive everyday interactions with colleagues at work and people outside. Adam's pragmatism from the point of view of sharing his experience and examples from practice allowed me to quickly and clearly understand and master the main negotiating practices and strategies. Personally, I appreciate his sense of structuredness and the need to involve every member of the team in the discussion. Overall, after completing this training, I have much more confidence and knowledge in negotiation, which has already manifested itself in improving my results at work. I highly recommend the Association of Negotiators.

I attended one workshop with Radim and also Rhetoric training at the Negotiators Association. I had very high expectations. Training is not cheap. However, I got what I wanted and much more. Radim is a complete professional and in his system every word, every sentence and every gesture has a meaning.

After 20 hours of intense work, I leave much more confident, confident and equipped with a skill set that I can use immediately. At the same time, it is fascinating to observe that this is how all participants in training feel, regardless of their starting position. It is something completely different than what I am used to from different courses or trainings. Radim's workouts are simply for people who value their time, money and also themselves.

Trainings with Radim in the Association of Negotiators are always practical and intense. I learn a lot of things from them after each. I will not only learn, but I will actually teach. I don't know of anyone else who has been able to provide that kind of value - whether we're talking about one-day workouts, or big long-term programs.

When I got my invitation to train for the Commanders, I didn't hesitate for a moment. I knew it was the best I could ever get (in Europe at least). This training really changes lives. Because in order to be the best, you first of all have to work with yourself and yourself. Of course, it was about negotiation. At the same time, with a deep overlap into other areas of business and everyday life.

Radim, thank you for this opportunity. You were right when you said that by the end of Commander, I would be a different person, in many ways better. And be prepared for more than just the toughest negotiations.

I had the privilege of attending a negotiation training session led by Adam at our company, JTI. For 23 hours, we took a wide range of negotiation tactics and created simulations based on real situations. A child who doubted that we could survive 12 hours, but Adam's ability to keep our attention told me otherwise.
The training was extremely valuable and intrusive, and it was certainly a source of resistance for anyone who negotiates at work or wants to improve their communication skills. It is an invaluable investment in the development of professional and personal skills.

Lydia Valentova

JTI

It started with the FBI Negotiator, continued with rhetoric and gassing, and when he told me to “go to Commander, change your life,” he didn't hesitate for a second. Radim is a true professional in the first place, always prepared to do the utmost and to make every effort. At Commander we worked intensively for half a year, and in total we spent hundreds of hours preparing and working together. Nothing is free and nothing is a coincidence, the tasks have come to an end, always with time pressure. At the end of the day, we wrote an important work, which in my opinion was as varied as a diploma and, to make matters worse, we were approached by an expert committee. Trainings with Radimom in the Association of Negotiators will reduce all the emotions that you will recognize and resist to anyone who, by improving their own mind, takes it seriously.

Adam har för ERA a.s. sales team en. We have spent together 24 hours of quite intense training. Het is een grote ervaring en een eye-openingsessie om humana psychologische werken en hoe het negotiatie kan wordt effectief, en definieert niet een frustratieve process van onze dag routine in Sales. I would personally recommend Adam's training to anybody who wants to improve its skills and wants to reach the top in its professional career.It was a pleasure to have Adam as the instructor of my future improvements.

Petr Burián

During my career I have received many trainings both in the Czech Republic and in Germany. But I've never experienced anything like the one with Radim. If you know football, Radim Paris is like Jose Mourinho. Straight, open, tough. You want to go into battle with him, give your best performance of life, lay down your life for him and thank him and come again. He knows business and negotiation through and through. He's working with you. He's working with the situation. It wrings out of you that which you do not know is asleep in you.

The whole training Radim set up so that we were under pressure. So we don't know what's coming. And we enjoyed it. Drill after drile.We've all been exercise by exercise better. You will only realize the overlap and depth of skills and knowledge over the next few months. You'll be thinking like a negotiator, flipping through notes and using tactics long after you graduate.

It was a pleasure working with Adam.

Very intensive training under his supervision has a noticeable, concrete impact on our business. Thanks to Adam, I was able to test my abilities and examine my perspective on my own weaknesses and strengths. Adam's work has benefited even the most experienced members of our team.

If I had the opportunity to hire Adam to train for my team, I would not hesitate.

I have not experienced a better, tougher, but at the same time kinder coach. Probably a handicap from his profession as a professional negotiator - he fulfills the rule “be the nicest in the room” perfectly. I just wanted to give it a try. Unreal error and naivety!

Right after my first Rhetoric and Influencing training, I found out that I had not experienced better and more intense training... and that I was screwed (I would write in hell, but due to concerns about my role and status, I want to look decent). I knew that if I wanted to move forward a good chunk, if I wanted to get an advantage over any opposing side, I had to do some more Radim training. Therefore, if you do not want to suffer from addiction, do not want to learn from the best and want to always remain the best of others, do not go to Radim's trainings at all and block him on LinkedIn.

I didn't make it. I succumbed. I went through additional trainings up to FBI Commander®. And I do not regret a second of time, not a drop of sweat, not a single crown that I paid for workouts. Radim is not only a world-class professional in negotiation, co-author of books with Chris Voss, but also a top coach, mentor, leader and friend.

Radim brought world know-how to the Czech Republic. I did several trainings with him and they were all very good. You will sweat and work long into the evening, but the result is a transformed mindset and new competencies that you will not acquire anywhere else in the Czech Republic. Radim is not only a great negotiator, rhetorician and coach, but also a person with a big heart and an open mind.

Adam is living proof that when you really want something, there are no boundaries for you. In addition to being an incredible professional and leading in his field, and in addition to working incredibly hard to be even better... besides all this, he can pass on his knowledge. As a tutor, Adam is a person who will not forgive you the slightest mistake, give you a merciless criticism... and with such a disarming smile that you will be happy as a puppy.

And in the same way, with sincere compliments, it can push you far beyond your comfort zone and get a performance that will make you feel absolutely miserable.

Adam, I laugh in front of you, thank you for a wonderful two days and look forward to the third.

I haven't been to school for a long time. The effect is minimal. It just doesn't get under my skin and the theory melts over time. What makes a lot of sense to me is training. And I just indulged that one. Over the course of two days, under the baton of Adam Doleysh, we put in 27 hours of hard work on how to negotiate better in the store. Information from negotiators like Chris Voss, Joe Navarro and Radim Paris put into practice. It hurt at times, but as they say heavily on the training ground, lightly. I highly recommend all trainings at the Association of Negotiators!

Thanks to Adam and the whole crew that gathered here. Have you ever finished training 23:53?

The day before the start of the actual coaching within Radim's “FBI Negotiator” platform, I was wondering what the hell I signed up for again. However, I have experienced countless such trainings. What will someone tell me? Again, some backpacker comes along and pulls out his captured presentation that he copied somewhere and spins it around at every training session, presenting it as his own.

So I had no expectations and rather took it as an opportunity to get to know other participants, form a relationship and gradually sell them off, but a fighter entered the room, who at first did not come to me at all on my wave. A fighter with a strange aura... and it completely engulfed me. The whole thing was different than I expected. It was a toil perhaps greater than moving castle furniture. Radim is simply a personality that can captivate in the first seconds. His impeccable rhetoric and empathy and the art of negotiating is something that hopefully can't even be learned.

I have not experienced anything like this in training. We participants immediately became partners, immediately we were able to form strategies, could name a goal, were able to conduct complex negotiations and knew that we would not get it for free. I laugh at the very concept of education that Radim represents. Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of it. Radim is a top manager, a great negotiator, a fair mentor, an unreal expert and, I believe, a friend as well.

Radim, thank you for all you've done for me. I never expected what an excellent person could still meet me after 50, in terms of education and knowledge. Your FBI negotiation and commander trainings are the best I've ever experienced, worked through, and I've benefited enormously from. Both in my work life and in my personal progress. Every day I try to get the best out of myself - both professionally and as a flesh-and-bone person. And it's hard work. It is the path that you have directed me on, you have led me through dead ends and opened closed doors for me. Thank you for everything. You're a role model, a professional. I wish you all the best, health of your head, and may you prosper. What you're doing is a mission. To all of you reading this, I wish you to experience it.

I  had a pleasure to be trained by Adam during our negotiation training recently. Two days of intensive work where Adam gives nothing for free. He has the ability to put you under pressure and get the best out of you. No slides, no cheap stories, no recycled videos, so you don't waste a single minute. Just Adam fully concentrated and delivering the content in the best possible way. True professional with great communication and presentation skills with an exceptional ability to take you through theoretical background in an entertaining way. Builds role plays from easier to more difficult ones, always assuring you are on the right path and provides support when needed. By observing your performance Adam will point out potential for improvement and make sure you will be improving continuously. Though he may not be an expert in your industry, Adam will adjust the topics to situations you are experiencing, just to guarantee you get most out of it. Should you have the opportunity to be trained by Adam, make sure you don't miss it!

Not long after I started following Radim's work and read his book, I wanted to visit one of his negotiation training sessions. However, due to the high price of the courses, I could not still decide. Then came the opportunity to take part in a one-day profiling training session, and I didn't hesitate for a minute. Today I have another “Diamond Workout” behind me and I'm wondering when I'll be able to get to the next one.

Radim and his team will not let you breathe, the simulations are precisely prepared and thought out. They make you think, put you under stress, change the rules of the game in the process, and thus new knowledge and skills get under your skin. All the time you have the complete attention of Radim and his team. Not only during the day, but until the night, when all achievements are celebrated together, networking takes place and life experiences and contacts are exchanged.

It's not training, it's not a course, it's training, excellent training. It's hard to describe, it has to be experienced. Today I am no longer afraid of prices, every penny you spend at the Association of Negotiators is worth it. Thanks, Radim.

Adam is a real negotiation maker, he strives to explain the underlying aspects before and during any negotiation, while providing strategic advices that help improve our mindset towards a deal making approach that fosters the use of specific tactics well explained and resumed. I had the chance to be trained by Adam in Association of Negotiators during an intensive track, and I recommend to anyone that is having complex deals to manage, or high competitive landscape to address.

I had the opportunity to be part of Radim's negotiating three-day training session, which was absolutely fascinating! Radim is undoubtedly a great negotiator, but also a rhetorician, and he can convey his experience in an inspiring way. Training had an upward tendency and proper dynamism. Necessary theory alternated with practice, when practice greatly exceeded. For me, the novelty was to try negotiating in a team and I understood that I could not do without a team in quality negotiations. It was great that the training was spread over two intense days and a third day after a month, which helps to anchor the loaded skills and knowledge, but in the meantime also to try in practice and share experiences with other participants. And most importantly, I really enjoyed training! Radim was able to present things in a funny and funny way, and one left feeling that he wanted to get another portion of the bargain right away! Anyway, I have a lot to work on and already feel that it will want to refresh in some time! Thanks Radime!

Equation for multi-party negotiation:bargaining power = information gained + coalition formation. Last week, Diamond Bargaining Training took place under the baton of the Association of Negotiators. Radim Paris once again put us under extreme pressure through several hours of unique simulations in which we reached the edge of our possibilities.

It all started a few days before the training session, when we were assigned a simulation of multi-party negotiation for a total of seven parties with different interests and motives, which accompanied the behind-the-scenes negotiations and coalition formation. We were able to conclude the negotiations successfully only the next day. I thank my great team mate Věra Tůmová and the other participants in the bee training with Adam Dolejš, because you gave me a whole new perspective on negotiations. Another negotiation simulation put us under pressure again. There were few negotiating parties, little information, differing interests and motives not only individual parties, but also individual team members. The course of negotiations was turbulent, full of twists, new information, sweat and emotions. We negotiated until the evening hours. Our neuroplasticity has shaken at the foundations.

Thank you Radime for your ingeniously composed and guided training in which you showed us how to make diamonds from coal. Thanks for taking me far beyond my comfort zone and showing me my limits.

I got really involved. I recently had the opportunity to consult with Adam on one of my more unimportant negotiations. Little time, irrational demands and personal emotional involvement. Adam's ability to accurately analyze a complex situation, ask very precise questions, and actively listen helped us formulate the strategy that led to success.

What impressed me most about working with you, Adam, is your ability to see things from different angles and bring new perspectives. Thank you so much for your invaluable contribution, professionalism and humanity. I'm sure we wouldn't have achieved this success without your help. I look forward to more common cases.
