About the show
The world is changing more rapidly than we ever thought possible. Technology and lifestyle solutions are our new normal; from the workplace to our social lives, how we monitor our wellbeing to how we raise our children. Whether it’s AI, wearable devices, superfoods or biotechnology, there’s rarely time for us to catch a breath before the next innovation is unveiled. But are we emotionally, physically and spiritually wired to thrive amidst such rapid change?
How Do We Manage? seeks to answer just that. Each week host Stephanie von Bismarck sits down with some of the world’s best thinkers, trailblazers and extraordinary people. They explore how to navigate some of life’s complexities and find a balance in this fast-moving world, without feeling overwhelmed and losing sight of what truly matters.
From the challenges of digital transformation to personal resilience, from sustainability to innovation. Across the series we’ll share practical tools and uncover inspiring ways to help us all keep up – and even thrive – while answering the simple question “How Do We Manage”.

What if there was a way to get exactly what you wanted, just by reframing your approach? We can all take some tips on how to negotiate effectively from this week’s guest, Matthias Schranner. Described by Forbes magazine as “one of the the best negotiators in the world”, Matthias began his career as an undercover policeman, and his skill in dealing with extremely volatile circumstances led him to working as a lead negotiator for high-stakes situations. He went on to set up the Schranner Negotiation Institute, and now advises businesses and government leaders, including the UN and global corporations, in over 40 countries. His groundbreaking “Schranner Concept” is used by companies worldwide to succeed in difficult negotiations.
He and Stephanie talk through all the elements needed for successful negotiation, whether there’s ever a time to walk away, whether some personality types are born to get what they want, and if you can ever win in a negotiation with a teenager!If you’ve got a negotiation coming up, with a boss, a client, a partner, or your kids, this episode is the place to come for advice from the ultimate expert.
