Alon Magal — Relationships Negotiator & Communication Specialist
When you can't get the message across to someone you can't walk away from.
Why a Negotiator Changes Everything
When one partner says "I don't want to hug anymore" — or go vegan, or keep the apartment clean, or cut back on work, or stop spending — the other panics.
Not because they're unreasonable. Because it matters.
Because if this is real, everything might fall apart. So they don't respond calmly. They respond with everything they have — arguments, pressure, and eventually the manipulation tactics they know best.
Now there are two problems instead of one.
The person who didn't want to hug before definitely doesn't want to hug now. The manipulation becomes the new fight. The original issue gets buried.
A negotiator changes the order of events.
I start with separate conversations. First I go to the person who doesn't want to hug — I ask why, and what they do want.
Then I go to the other side. I don't deliver panic. I deliver the why. Without the other person needing to defend themselves against it.
No pressure. No manipulation. And if someone tries to use tactics on me, I remind them: I'm not your partner. Screaming at me doesn't get you what you want.
I'm on both sides — I'll work to get you hugs, and I'll also work to understand why the other person doesn't want them.
More information moves. It moves calmly.
Even when there's no agreement — it ends peacefully.
How Sessions Work
—
First session is introductory — reduced rate. We talk through your situation, I explain my approach, and we see if there's a fit.
—
Sessions are 1–2 hours, by video call or in person.
—
Between sessions, you receive a writing assignment. No assignment submitted before the next session means a financial penalty — half a session fee. This isn't punitive. The writing is where the shift happens.
—
No fixed number of sessions. We work until you don't need to come back.
What Clients Say
"What I remember most is your ability to see both sides — and to reflect back to each person where their part sits within the dynamic. The experience was one of immense patience, and acceptance of the vulnerable parts in each of us. I felt you saw us beyond the words. You looked with kind eyes and showed the good in each of us, and the intention that so often stands behind the words. Much success on this path."

"My partner and I ran into basic communication problems and fell into frustration and helplessness. We were lucky to have Alon sit with us through a series of sessions to help us find our way back to each other. Alon was a neutral, grounding presence — he gave equal space to both sides with great attentiveness. Through guiding questions and a broad perspective, we were able to listen, learn about each other, open our hearts and grow close again. His presence is powerful and gentle at once. With deep gratitude."
