Overview

The business climate is becoming progressively more volatile and it is becoming obvious that those who survive and prosper will be those who know how to negotiate with confidence. Success will go to those who set clear and ambitious goals for themselves and their organisations and have the ability to persuade others to agree and to want to achieve them. Negotiation is the process for reaching that agreement.

Negotiation is not just above having a structure to follow during a client meeting. Negotiation is about understanding people. It is a ‘life skill’ in everyday commercial and personal use, but this still remains a mystery to many people. During this programme, we will explore various negotiation styles, persuasion methods and strategies concentrating on improving the personal performance and impact of all participants here today.
