Event Description


The Negotiations Collective firmly believes that networking is your gateway to opportunities, conflict resolution is your vehicle to solutions, and negotiations are your means to unveiling value. All three skills are required to negotiate your way to high-value outcomes.

About the Event


Join us for this networking workshop where you will learn how to fully enlist, engage, and build your network. We focus on why, how, when, and where to engage your personal (friends and family), professional (coworkers, peers), and strategic (mentors, executives) contacts.

Once engaged, we focus on how you get what you want; be it a job, a promotion, a wage increase, additional resources, expanded schedule, etc. The reality is that in today’s world, without knowing the “who”, you will never have the opportunity to prove or procure your “what.” Through this training, we will help you get your “what”.

This interactive workshop will provide you with relevant research, case studies, and role-playing scenarios focused on:

  • What is a strategic network?
  • What type of networker are you?
  • What does your professional network look like?
  • How to build your network.
  • How to influence your network.
  • How to manage and continuously grow your strategic network.
