Event Description


"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." - Benjamin Franklin.

No two negotiations are the same. Political (internal or external), economic, environmental, and a variety of other factors will present themselves in different ways in different negotiations. You cannot control these variables, no matter how talented a negotiator you are. What you can influence, and control is how you prepare for the pending negotiation, how you present yourself as a negotiator, and how you offer acceptable solutions that, ultimately, work for all parties.

About the Event


This full-day workshop, split over 2 days, will be delivered interactively over Zoom, providing worskshop attendees with relevant research, case studies, and role-playing scenarios via breakout rooms focused on:

  • Strategic Networking

    • How to initiate, build, and maintain these critical networks.
    • Case studies, role playing, and discussions will be used in this portion of the workshop.
  • Conflict Management
    • Controlling your emotions and resolving differences.

  • Negotiation Styles
