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 course, 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 course will give your participants a sense of understanding the other party and they will have the confidence not to settle for less than they feel is fair but seek a win-win agreement.
