Suspending Publication
AT LEAST THROUGH LABOR DAY
With mixed feelings I’m suspending publication of Jazz of Negotiation at least through the summer. I’m simply juggling too many things at this point. I need to step back and review my priorities.
I also want to see if there is a way to make this enterprise more of a two-way street. I appreciate the occasional comments, but for the most part this has been far more monologue than dialogue. What I’d love to do is foster a community of people who share my fascination with negotiation and who can contribute their ideas, experiences, and questions.
I’ll mull all this in the coming weeks and let you know right after Labor Day whatever I decide. If I continue with Jazz, I will work with Substack to extend your subscription by two months. And if it’s time to wrap this up, I’ll endeavor to arrange refunds for remaining time on your subscription, as of today.
Thank you for your support and encouragement. I hope you the coming months will be both enjoyable and fulfilling for you. Be well! Mike
Sad to hear this. If I can tell, it's difficult for a mere mortal being like me, to have a dialogue with a world known author, a negotiation expert and professor at a world top university! Too wide the gap on knowledge, skills and authority. The only thing I (we) can do is listen and (try to) learn. I acknowledge your frustration: I'm trying to build a community of people who regularly practice negotiation, but whatever I (and my friends / club mates) do, seems we're not able to get traction.
I, selfishly, hope you'll find a way to continue this publication. Whatever decision you're going to make, I want to thank you for what you did.
Dear Prof Wheeler,
I loved your newsletter and always learned something. I wish I had made more comments to keep you equally engaged to this venture.
My biggest struggle has been the platform to be honest. Despite being a paid subscriber I kept on seeing messages to subscribe which made it an odd experience. Further gmail out back some of the mailing to the social category and thus missing it every now and then.
I hope you come back. It was a really nice way to continuously learn about such a critical topic.
