The Art of Give and Take

In the delicate dance of negotiation, where compromise meets conviction, can we truly find a path that honours both sides without losing ourselves?

We confer, we bargain, we negotiate,
Seeking common ground on shifting sand.
In give and take, we try to navigate.

With careful words, we aim to cultivate
A middle path, a deal we understand.
We confer, we bargain, we negotiate.

Through compromise, we hope to mitigate
The clash of wills, as ego makes its stand.
In give and take, we try to navigate.

With skill and tact, we work to orchestrate
A resolution both sides can withstand.
We confer, we bargain, we negotiate.

Each party’s needs we must accommodate,
Finding balance as the clock’s hands span.
In give and take, we try to navigate.

Through winding roads of talk, we demonstrate
The art of deal-making, so finely planned.
We confer, we bargain, we negotiate.
In give and take, we try to navigate.
