For anyone within driving distance, I'll be introducing famed Baltimore baseball agent and author Ron Shapiro on Monday, January 28 (at 11:55 am) at a public event at the University of Toledo College of Law. Known for his books and instruction on negotiation ( The Power of Nice: How to Negotiate So Everyone Wins, Especially You; Bullies, Tyrants & Impossible People: How to Beat them Without Joining Them, and Dare to Prepare: How to Win Before You Begin), Shapiro has represented the likes of Kirby Puckett, Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken, Jim Palmer, and Brooks Robinson. This promises to be a fun and informative event, which you can read more about here.
