Communication and Negotiation

Let's Talk - Success in Communication and Negotiation is All About YOU!

All of us negotiate every day in our professional and personal lives. For many of us, the hardest negotiations involve conflict. Whether we fight back, shut down, or avoid conflict altogether, breakdowns with other people rarely bring out our best skills or better nature. The most important negotiations, and the ones that determine the quality of our lives, are those we have with ourselves. This course has been designed to provide you with negotiation and conflict management skills as well as introduce people to the concept of negotiation mastery, and will provide an overview of:

  • Negotiations/Conflict (two parties in conflict);
  • Self Awareness (family of origin, history, cultural filters, what is conflict, sources of conflict, assumptions);
  • Preparation (emotional and mental preparation, content preparation using the C2C Handbook, preparing BATNA/WATNA); and
  • Understanding and Communication (listening, seek first to understand and then be understood, speaking).

Instructors: Dave Savage, President, Savage Management Ltd. (specialist in leader coaching, conflict management, negotiations and management consulting) Kerry Brown, President, Moving Forward Inc. (specialist in mediation, facilitation, training of conflict management skills and processes) Gary Selby, President, Arangel Energy Corp. (specialist in mediation, facilitiation, arbitration, coaching, training)
