Individuals often fail in negotiations because they have had no foundation in negotiation skills.

We are negotiating almost all the time. Whether with business partners, clients, suppliers, colleagues or even family members, the success of our outcomes depends entirely on our understanding of the negotiation and communication process. When engaged in negotiations where your skill as a negotiator may prevent losses, increase gains or enhance circumstances for you or your organisation, it is imperative that you invest in your capability to:

- Prepare effectively
- Understand the needs & interests of all parties involved
- Conclude better agreements through creativity
- Identify potential barriers or hindrances to the engagement
- Adopt a collaborative approach to ensuring trust, rapport and long term gains

There is also a growing awareness that conflict at all levels in society is not always best resolved through force and coercion. What is needed is an increased ability on the part of leaders to develop successful outcomes through influence and persuasion rather than coercion and heavy-handed tactics. In addition, more than ever before, individuals need to be able to influence others on a 360-degree basis rather than just those individuals who report to them. This programme will equip participants with vital skills to help in those processes. The course material is based on sound psychological approaches to negotiation, which include an understanding of personality, motivation and intelligence. The more practical approaches of NLP, transactional analysis and the development of rapport skills are also covered.

By the end of the course you will be able to:
• evaluate the essential psychological aspects of a range of approaches to influencing others and negotiating positive win/win outcomes
