The aim of this workshop is to help participants improve their skills in

• Negotiation

The objectives are that each participant achieves: 

• Increase your individual skill as a negotiator, focusing particularly on the handling of situations where both individual achievement and the employment relationship are important.
• You will learn how to achieve better outcomes at the bargaining table.
• Help them meet their personal style as a negotiator and explore what techniques and why they might be effective or not
• Discover how to win, not by defeating the other side, but by helping the other side.
• Be better prepared to acquire support from your organization as you lead future negotiations.
• Make a inventory of your personal style and explore why and what their techniques are operational and effective
• Create relationships, enforcing engagement as “who we are”, “what are we doing”, and “how will we do it”.
