Overview
Too often a group will meet to negotiate an arrangement and fail to come to a reasonable position - entrenched positions will stop useful negotiation and poor use of interpersonal skills leads to "stand off" positions and win-lose type situations. Aggressive behavior wins out and the result is not implemented. Win-lose can lead to a future of even less useful meetings. This 2-day course offers the opportunity to learn to negotiate to a position of success.
