Persuading, Negotiating, and Collaborating

The key focus of effective negotiations is partnering with others to develop mutually beneficial outcomes. When we help others get what they want, meeting our needs becomes easier. In this hands-on experience, participants will practice collaborative skills based on listening, learning, and leveraging all resources. Program discussions will focus on advancing both parties above “power,” achieving short and long-term wins, and overcoming stalemates through creative means. Skills to better persuade and remain composed in tense situations will also be shared. Participants will walk away with tools to better plan and execute negotiations after practicing the concepts and skills in situations that relate to their work.
