Course Overview


Using examples and case studies, this highly interactive course builds the skills and confidence needed in influencing others, dealing with conflicts and resistance, resolving differences and achieving successful results. Grounded in current research into effective real-world negotiation, the course explores how to prepare effectively for negotiation, how to uncover the needs and perspectives of the people involved and how to manage the dynamics of negotiation events. Learners practise key techniques for handling challenging interactions, resolving difficult situations and turning conflict into a powerful driver of improved performance and relationships.
