For nearly 50 years, William Ury has distinguished himself as an expert international negotiator. He’s served as a negotiation adviser or mediator in conflicts in the Middle East, Venezuela, the Balkans, and Chechnya, among other places, winning several international awards for his work in helping to resolve ethnic conflicts.

In 1981, Ury joined Harvard professor Roger Fisher in co-authoring Getting to Yes, an influential guide for business negotiation that became a classic, selling more than 15 million copies in more than 35 languages. Since then, Ury has penned nine more books on negotiation, dispute resolution, and the prevention of violent conflict and nuclear war.
