How to be both strategic and constructive in negotiation

In many companies and organizations there will be a range of situations where being an effective negotiator is key.

Getting a group of colleagues together and learning more about how to be both strategic and constructive in negotiation situations can improve both internal meetings and collaborations as well as dealings with external clients or stakeholders.

The format for training sessions is flexible; from 2-3 hours to several days or a sequence of workshops over a longer period of time.

The sessions are highly inter-active and exercise-based and tailor-made to the group’s needs. Participant numbers can be anything from 6-10 people to large audiences.

When

negotiations

become difficult

Sometimes our business as well as our personal negotiations do not develop as we wish. Differences may seem too great or the content too difficult to handle.

Often we involve lawyers and accountants, friends and relatives at this stage, but most of the time it would be even more useful to involve someone to help you analyse and understand the negotiation process; what is really happening and why?

This will make it easer to design and implement a more contructive way forward.

The format of advisory sessions is one-on-one meetings combined with telephone/skype and e-mail conversations.

Women Negotiating

in the workplace and at home

The focus of the book is the terms under which we as women negotiate, but also on the many useful tools and skills we can draw on to make our negotiations both more constructive and rewarding for both sides of the table.

The book looks at classic workplace negotiations but also on the agreements we reach at home with family and friends.

The book is available for purchase in a pdf format in my webshop.
