Meet John Antrim

With a career spanning two police departments, I dedicated most of my adult life to mastering the art of communication. As a Training Coordinator, Training Specialist, and Hostage Negotiator, I developed expertise in reading people and situations, de-escalating conflicts, and navigating difficult conversations. I have found that these skills are just as vital in business and leadership as they are in law enforcement.

Beyond policing, I have experience in multi-level sales and real estate, industries where trust and persuasion are key. As a husband of 24 years and a father of 11, I understand the challenges of communication in both professional and personal settings.

Through Negotiators Edge, I help professionals and students sharpen their communication skills to gain the edge in leadership, negotiations, and workplace interactions. Whether it's through corporate seminars, workshops, or school assemblies, my mission is to help individuals sharpen these skills and gain the edge they need to succeed in any environment.

“We're more connected the ever - but we've forgotten how to communicate. I started Negotiators Edge because we are losing the art of personal communication— I’m here to help bring it back.”
