With a class titled “get what you want,” how could you go wrong? Whether you realize it or not, negotiation is a skill that comes into play in our everyday lives—and especially in the world of business. Negotiation is about being able to balance what you want and need with the wants and needs of others—and using that knowledge to improve your chances of achieving personal success.
In Negotiation: Get What You Want 1212, students will work with a professional negotiator to learn how to plan, implement and win the bargaining process. The course will give participants the confidence they need to be able to make deals that will grow their professional networks as well as set them up for personal triumphs. The one-month course is divided into the follow four units:
