About the Negotiating for Success Workshop

Every day we negotiate with others around us. Many of us don’t recognize this simple fact. The results of these daily negotiations may impact the direction we take on a project and even the trajectory of our career. Individual and organizational success alike is determined by how well internal and external parties negotiate outcomes.

Would you like to learn how to optimize the outcomes of your daily interactions? Would you like to know how to navigate a conversation with a difficult customer, vendor, prospect or stakeholder? Would you like to better navigate a union negotiation? Would you like to get what you want and keep the counter-party happy as well?

This program will teach you how to understand and recognize negotiation styles and learn how to prepare, strategize, persuade, and reach win-win outcomes with a difficult coworker, unsatisfied customer, stubborn vendor, or anyone you interact with. The framework for negotiating is ideal for all career levels and is well suited for a number of formal and informal negotiation settings.
