Humanity is at a crossroads. Climate change, rising authoritarianism, and deeply stubborn hierarchies of gender, racial, and economic inequality are all symptoms of an outdated patriarchal culture, one that is dying but not going quietly.

Collaborative Hardball is both a rallying cry and a practical guide for women—and anyone who supports the rise of the feminine—to reclaim power, redefine negotiation, and dismantle the systems holding us back.

Seasoned negotiation expert Susan Coleman asserts that the ways we negotiate— whether in the boardroom, the bedroom, or on the global stage—matter now more than ever. Blending actionable tools with powerful stories from her own life and the lives of other inspiring women, Coleman introduces a revolutionary “New Negotiation” that blends the strategic mastery of collaboration with a feminine-infused strength that comes from knowing who we truly are.

This isn’t your typical negotiation manual. It’s a manifesto for systemic change. Whether you’re navigating high-stakes deals, personal relationships, or global movements, Collaborative Hardball will sharpen your voice, ignite your confidence, and equip you to lead with purpose in every arena of your life.
