Negotiating Skills

What is Negotiation?
Negotiation can be defined as the process of conferring “with another or others in order to come to terms or reach an agreement” or “arranging or settling by discussion and mutual agreement”.

Negotiations happen all of the time. In almost every conversation, across every country, city and workplace. Whether you’re booking a meeting, deciding where to go for lunch, buying or selling a house, you are employing your negotiation skills to work towards a desired outcome. In the workplace, it is often much more subtle and we don’t even realize how often we are negotiating and or how well or not so well we are doing it.

Do I need Negotiation Skills Training?
As negotiations are at the core of most business functions and lie at the heart of clear communication, having strong negotiating skills will assist you in both your personal and professional life.
