Description

Explore the central concepts, strategies, and scripts of successful negotiation. Negotiation, understood broadly, is an element of nearly every relationship and enterprise. Our premise is that successful negotiators employ interpersonal skills characterized by an artful deployment of both empathy and cunning — that is, heart and mind.

The course integrates theory and findings from the science of negotiation with a concrete set of operational tools. Examples are drawn from the instructors’ study and participation in a varied set of organizations and businesses.

Learning Objectives

Participants will leave the seminar with a solid command of the principal elements of negotiation, a pragmatic set of strategies, and a valuable network of colleagues with whom to reconnect periodically.

Testimonial

I liked how the topic was covered in the course. Negotiation is a topic that is rarely covered in professional development. Through taking this course, I realized that I have a static negotiation style. I plan to work on tailoring my approach to different scenarios now that I am aware of the different styles.
