How to approach a negotiation
Learn the different approaches to negotiation and how to use them to find solutions that can satisfy both parties and establish positive long-term relationships.
Understand how, in many negotiation situations, it appears that the only possibility is that a gain on one side will result in a loss on the other.
Learn instead how to generate additional value by implementing an integrative approach aimed at expanding the available resources, rather than dividing them, so that the negotiation’s outcome will satisfy all parties.

Set goals and limits

Improve your conflict prevention, management, and resolution techniques so that you can handle even the most complex situations, learning how to turn conflict into an opportunity for productive confrontation.
Reach a mutually beneficial outcome
Explore the different possibilities for solving the problem and reaching a positive outcome for all parties.
Strengthen your communication, cooperation, and bargaining skills to maximize the effectiveness of the negotiation process.
