Negotiation Skills (Starts Aug, 08th)

Although people often think of boardrooms, suits, and million-dollar deals when they hear the word negotiation, the truth is that we negotiate all the time. Through this workshop participants will be able to understand the basic types of negotiations, the phases of negotiations, and the skills needed for successful negotiating. The Negotiation Skills workshop will give participants a sense of understanding their opponent and have the confidence to not settle for less than they feel is fair. Participants will learn that an atmosphere of respect is essential, as uneven negations could lead to problems in the future. Course Outline: • Understanding Negotiation • Getting Prepared • Laying the Groundwork • Phase One; Exchanging Information • Phase Two; Bargaining • About Mutual Gain • Phase Three; Closing • Dealing with Difficult Issues • Negotiating Outside the Boardroom • Negotiating on Behalf of Someone Else
