Executive-Education-Negotiation-And-Consensus-Building-Banner

Why this program?

Negotiation impacts every aspect of our lives. The ability to negotiate effectively helps to reach agreements, achieve goals and create stronger relationships. Through this program you will learn practical strategies to better your negotiations, ultimately leading to improved productivity, job satisfaction and greater overall success.

Our hands-on approach runs you through negotiation simulations that get you practicing the skills you learn immediately. You'll leave with the confidence you need to negotiate effectively - anytime, anywhere.

Negotiation is how decisions are made, agreements are reached and disputes are resolved between two or more parties. The completion and implementation of a successful negotiation provides each party with an improved situation over one that would have occurred without negotiations. This program will focus on the negotiation aspects involved in the workplace, not labour negotiations.
