Negotiate Like a Pro Instructor-Led Training

Discover How to Negotiate with Confidence and Skill

The simplest definition of negotiation is two or more people deciding how to allocate a resource: money, time, roles, and responsibilities, etc. We negotiate all the time in our professional and personal lives. We negotiate about workload and assignments, budget allocations, conflicts with coworkers, and changes to policies or operating procedures, in addition to what most people traditionally think of as negotiations involving buying and selling.

If you don’t like to negotiate or don’t feel like you do it well, it may be because you possess one of two nonproductive attitudes toward negotiating. The first is to view negotiation as a competition where one side wins and the other loses. This attitude reflects a common misperception that you and the other person have opposing goals, making it impossible for both of you to get what you want at the same time.

The second approach toward negotiation is to fear it and give in at the first sign of conflict. This outlook suggests a lack of confidence about the value of what you have to offer. Both of these attitudes – viewing negotiation as a win–lose opportunity and viewing it as something to be feared – are likely to result in a less-than-ideal outcome. This instructor-led training event focuses on negotiating from a win–win mindset that results in a mutually beneficial agreement that is fair to both sides.
