What steps should you take to prepare for complex negotiations? How can you turn negotiating skills into a core competence? How can you negotiate effectively to achieve your objectives? Why is it so important to learn and improve for future negotiations? Entrepreneurs, senior managers, family members and business leaders negotiate all the time: everything from sales contracts and budget crunches to high-profile mergers and acquisitions and project financing. Although effective negotiating abilities can be developed, people do little to sharpen their negotiation skills. In fact, research has shown that despite dedicating most of their professional and personal time to negotiating, leaders receive little or no formal training in negotiation. High-Performance Negotiator is an ideal opportunity for you to sharpen your expertise at the negotiating table. This three-day program encourages you to carry out a methodical introspection into your negotiation style, assess your strengths and identify potential areas for improvement. It addresses the main tents of the negotiating process, analyzes the different types of negotiations and provides strategies to resolve negotiation deadlocks.
- Gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the negotiating process
- Improve your ability to negotiate in collaborative and competitive situations
- Learn how to manage conflict constructively in a variety of situations
- Learn how to mitigate conflicts between units or departments within your organization
