This paper presents ten embodied practices to enhance performance, protection, and perception in negotiation, facilitation, and mediation. They stem from thirty years of experience. Colleagues to whom I teach them in the European institutions find them useful. They concern conscious breathing, connecting with others and yourself, protecting your space, channeling aggression, projecting confidence and power, reading facial and body cues, and preparing yourself like an athlete would. The presentation of each practice includes a story, guidance to use it, and comments.
