Course description
High Stakes Negotiation
As a leader, you must first and foremost advocate for your team and organization while negotiating, even when the stakes are high. Scientific studies of the most popular negotiation strategies, including zero-sum, win-win, and good cop bad cop, have shown that none of these methods work as well as harnessing perspective-taking and emotions to reach optimal solutions while maintaining a good relationship with the other party.
This negotiation training will help participants identify and hone their negotiation skills by exploring various perspectives, listening actively, building rapport, and exercising empathy to uncover hidden opportunities that lead to successful negotiations. Participants will also learn how to prepare, strategize, and persuade in order to optimize their outcomes and get what they need when it matters most in negotiation scenarios.
