Learn how to negotiate with colleagues, bosses, partners, friends, clients, and many others.
Through a dynamic mix of theory, demonstration, and practice, this two-session workshop provides a solid foundation for more principled, persuasive, and successful negotiation in a variety of contexts.
Learning Objectives
By participating fully, you will:
- Manage the tension between creating and claiming value.
- Understand how to elicit strengths and weaknesses of your own management and negotiation style.
- Improve your critical communication skills and persuasion strategies.
- Learn how to focus your efforts on each phase of a negotiation through practical exercises and role plays.
- Gain confidence and effectiveness in negotiations.
Program Description
We explore critical negotiation theory, such as competitive versus collaborative approaches, and identify motivating interests to improve your approach to negotiation and the quality of your outcomes. We continue with the essentials of thorough preparation for a negotiation, including setting specific targets, identifying sources of influence, and defining the point of walk away with reference to a methodical alternatives analysis. While building this negotiation framework, we define and practice critical communication and influencing skills. We also outline a practical framework so that you have a clear map of an effective negotiation process.
Facilitated by Jessica Notini, consultant and negotiation coach.
