Persuasive Negotiation
Programme details
Overview
Knowing how to negotiate to overcome obstacles whilst avoiding conflict and creating positive outcomes from difficult situations is a competence that is vitally needed in the world.
"A negotiated agreement is not a zero sum game."
The best negotiators create value as well as earning value. The skills required to achieve this are amongst the most elusive and valued in rising leaders.
Benefits
Research by Ann E. Tenbrunsel of Notre Dame shows that most people are inclined to back down at the crucial moments of a difficult negotiation.
This programme equips participants with a toolkit for preparing for negotiations, participating in negotiations and most importantly managing the next steps after a negotiation.
Participants can expect to be challenged to think about the principles underpinning good negotiations and understand the key concepts of systematic preparation, how to listen, and how to structure a persuasive negotiation.

Negotiation is an art and a science. Conflict is universal, but the constructive resolution of differences is rare. Success in negotiation is not a matter of luck or having the right genes, it can be learned and this programme will show you how.
