The 18th Camel

A father leaves seventeen camels to his three sons. Half to the eldest, a third to the second, a ninth to the youngest.

The math doesn’t work. The brothers argue, until a wise woman lends them her camel. With eighteen, the division fits. Seventeen are shared fairly and she rides away on her own.

Real breakthroughs don’t come from force, but from a shift in perspective. 

At 18 Camels, that same calm clarity is brought to complex negotiations and conflicts.

Harvard-Based Frameworks

Grounded in Harvard Law School practices of negotiation and mediation, adapted for today’s complex business realities.

Real-World Leadership Experience

Built on 10+ years of hands-on leadership in commercial strategy and international sales, bridging hard business outcomes with human insight.

Presence Under Pressure

Practical techniques to stay calm, centered, and clear-minded when the stakes are high, keeping perspective intact

Why It Matters

As AI reshapes how we live and work, it creates more than efficiency. It creates space.
Space to focus on what remains distinctly human: connection, deep listening, and sound decision-making under pressure.

At the same time, zero-sum thinking and escalation are becoming increasingly normalised. How conflict is handled now shapes not only teams and partnerships, but also the cultures and communities we are part of.

Strategy rarely fails on paper. It fails in practice under pressure and through mishandled conflict. With awareness, those same moments become a foundation for clarity, trust, and better agreements.
