About this course

WANT TO MASTER THE ART OF WIN-WIN NEGOTIATION AND ACHIEVE BETTER OUTCOMES?

Many people associate negotiating with industrial bargaining and international agreements, yet the bulk of negotiation involves ordinary people arriving at day-to-day agreements with each other. By improving our negotiation skills, we improve our ability to manage transactions in all aspects of our business and personal lives. Our Winning Negotiator course is not just theoretical, but also practical, exploring what's involved in adopting a collaborative, win-win approach to negotiation. Aligned with modern business practices, you'll gain insights into preparing effectively, asking powerful questions, exploring creative options, and successfully closing negotiations. This includes understanding negotiation concepts, evaluating variables, managing power dynamics, and practical applications of negotiation techniques. You'll acquire the skills needed to negotiate confidently and successfully, ensuring you achieve your objectives while building strong partnerships.
