      As I conclude this third book in The Dao of Negotiation: The Path Between Eastern Strategies and Western Minds I realise how much support I receive from so many people to make the project happen. There are many people involved in creating a book, including my publisher Dr. Scott Zarcinas at DoctorZed Publishing, my editor Hari Teah, and my designer Trish Pollock at BrandArk, all of whom I want to thank. I particularly want to thank Carla Morelli for her excellent research skills, which have made such a positive contribution to Lure the Tiger: Negotiating in confronting circumstances . Jennifer McKeon has continued to read and re-read drafts and to provide unlimited faith and belief in me and the project. Finally, I want to thank organisational psychologist Shelley Rogers who has helped me think through the complexities of many of the examples. More importantly, Shelley remains entirely supportive of me and the The Dao of Negotiation project, for which I am endlessly appreciative.

      Leonie’s Journey Continues

      After studying Mandarin Chinese for one year in Taiwan my world really opened up. I lived in Taipei in the north, and once my Mandarin was reasonable I moved to the southern city of Kaohsiung. This move really accelerated my Mandarin reading, writing and speaking skills. There were very few Westerners living in Kaohsiung at that time. Without a good understanding of Mandarin it would have been difficult to live there because there was minimal English spoken. Unlike Taipei, in Kaohsiung all of the street signs and many of the everyday signs were in Chinese characters. There was no Pinyin pronunciation system in Taiwan, so the only way to learn to read Mandarin was to learn the Chinese characters. The Pinyin system is explained in Book One – Tame the Tiger: Negotiating from a position of Power .

      When I first moved to Kaohsiung I had the task of finding my friend and myself an apartment because I could read the Chinese characters, whereas my friend could just speak Mandarin. There was no internet in those days so my task was to search through the Chinese newspaper advertisements for an apartment. My most precious souvenir from Taiwan is my lease, because I had to sign it in Chinese characters, and of course the whole document was written in Chinese characters.

      Kaohsiung was the new frontier for foreigners, and employment opportunities were plentiful for those of us who knew how to read, write and speak Mandarin. Many Chinese people were keen to learn English. During my time in Kaohsiung I worked in both an upmarket adult education English language school, and a popular children’s school. I also had a job editing a series of children’s English as a Second Language (ESL) books. In this position I was the only Western person working in an office with twenty Chinese people.

      At the end of the first year in Kaohsiung we went to Nepal for the Christmas and Chinese New Year break. Nepalese fashion was becoming popular in Taiwan. My entrepreneurial spirit saw a desire in the market and so we started a business importing Nepalese clothing into Kaohsiung. We created business relationships with several tailors in Kathmandu and had Tibetan jackets and dresses made to sell in Kaohsiung.

      Kaohsiung has a famous night market called Liu He Lu. To sell our imported clothing and accessories we set up a stall there two to three nights a week. This would happen after we finished teaching at the English language school at 10.00pm. We were the only Westerners selling goods on the night market.

      This was a place where I saw negotiations taking place constantly between the traders and buyers, and more importantly for me, between the stallholders and the police. In the latter interactions I learnt to just follow what
