In this workshop participants assimilate fundamentals of responsible negotiations and conflict resolution; they learn to be curious about points of view, data, and aspirations of all parties involved.  Attendees examine the importance of developing alternatives to agreement that build self-confidence and enhance preparation.  They use self-examination to discover personal negotiating styles and in using both prepared case studies and other cases taken directly from the group covering current challenges, practice skills to reach highly successful outcomes.  This is a hands-on and interactive workshop incorporating role plays, group work and self assessment tools.
