At work, we frequently need to influence the behaviour of others and decision-making as well as participate in formal negotiations.  Whether upwards or sideways within your organisation, or with customers, vendors and business partners, there will be times when you want people to see things from your perspective.  You want to win people round without causing conflict or disagreement.  Becoming more aware of the impact you have on others as well as an understanding of what drives your counterpart’s opinion and position are vital when it comes to negotiation.

At the end of this workshop, you will learn to:

1. Understand your negotiation style and use it effectively.
2. Negotiate well and plan for all elements of the negotiation process.
3. Apply cognitive, emotional and interpersonal intelligence.
4. Successfully make the proposal appealing to the other side.
5. Get the team to focus on the big picture and negotiate strategically.
