Negotiation is an important part of every person’s life. Understanding which skills and strategies you can use will help you to get the best possible result in every situation.
Clients often ask us to include negotiation skills in longer Communication and Management courses. We can either spend a full or half day on this subject. These workshops include a complex negotiation exercise to help participants practice their skills in a safe environment. Alternatively this topic can be presented as a stand-alone day. This single day workshop is focuses on the different approaches which will help our participants achieve a success when negotiating.
Topics we may include on a Negotiation skills training course:
- What is negotiation and how does it work
- Formal vs informal negotiations
- When is negotiation appropriate
- Principles and practice of effective negotiation
- The characteristics and behaviours of a successful negotiator
- Communication skills for effective negotiators
- Establishing an appropriate presence as a negotiator
- The role of questioning and listening in negotiations
- Why empathy is useful during negotiation
- Understanding the constraints of negotiation
