Negotiation Skills
Personal Development
Description
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. For example, have you ever: Decided where to eat with a group of friends? Decided on chore assignments with your family? Asked your boss for a raise?
These are all situations that involve negotiating! This workshop will give participants an understanding of the phases of negotiation, tools to use during a negotiation, and ways to build win-win solutions for all those involved.
