Kwame Christian
CEO of the American Negotiation Institute
Kwame Christian, a first-generation Caribbean American from Tiffin, Ohio, transformed his life through a negotiation course in law school, revealing that negotiation is a learnable skill. This discovery led him to excel in negotiation competitions, win national awards, and ultimately found the American Negotiation Institute. His personal journey from a people pleaser to a master negotiator is relatable and inspiring, resonating deeply with audiences and empowering them to handle challenging conversations confidently.
He is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, and CEO of the American Negotiation Institute. His top negotiation podcast, Negotiate Anything, has over 16 million downloads in 180+ countries. His TEDx Talk, “Finding Confidence in Conflict,” has 650,000+ views. His books, Finding Confidence in Conflict and How to Have Difficult Conversations About Race, are both best- sellers that have made significant impacts. In early 2026, Kwame was recognized as one of the top 10 negotiation experts in the world by Global Gurus.
As a LinkedIn Top Voice, Kwame partnered with LinkedIn to create the platform’s only negotiation certificate program — a certificate that has been earned by more than 30,000 negotiators worldwide to date.
