Negotiations Skills

Welcome to the Negotiation Skills workshop! The Negotiation Skills workshop is designed to provide with the practical knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to build win-win solutions with anyone in any situation more effectively. Although people often may think of boardrooms, parliaments and million-dollar deals when they hear the word “negotiation,” the truth is that we negotiate all the time. For example, have you ever… • Decided where to eat with a group of friends? • Decided on going for a picnic with your family and friends? • Asked your boss for a raise?

Learning Outcome

These are all situations that involve negotiating! This workshop will give participants an understanding of the phases of negotiation, tools to use during a negotiation, and ways to build win-win solutions for all those involved.

Research and studies have consistently demonstrated that when clear goals and objectives are associated with learning, the learning and competency occur easily and vividly. By the end of this program, the participants would be familiar, proficient, and competent with the following topics of the workshop.
