Becoming a skillful negotiator is essential for all professionals. Learning to produce superior outcomes through negotiations is a learnable skill that can benefit individuals in any field. Negotiation is both a science and an art.

  • Assess the strengths and weaknesses of your existing negotiation style

  • Practice identifying the strategies and tactics that achieve desired outcomes
  • Understand how the roles, interests and positions are factored into the negotiation process
  • Learn the types, sources and uses of influence
