As football season slowly approaches, the question of where the Chicago Bears will build their new home stadium remains unanswered, and it might surprise you how this debate is relevant to you in the workplace. At first glance, the NFL and employment may not have much in common. But beneath the headlines and speculation lies an important lesson relevant to both spaces: how to negotiate well, no matter what’s at stake.
Prinz partner Kristen Prinz and paralegal supervisor Christina Martinez are all too familiar with the many moving parts that make up a deal like one the Bears are currently drafting. In this episode, they dive deep into the links between the search for a new stadium and the most common negotiations we see in our own workplaces.

- An overview of the stadium saga (so far)
- Conflicting factors around the Bears staying in Chicago
- Questions to ask yourself before preparing for a negotiation
- How the Bears are positioning the value they bring to the table—and how you can do the same
- The role that timing plays in any negotiation
Whether you're an employer reviewing your company's contracts, an employee negotiating a new job offer, or simply a football fan, this episode has something for every listener.
