Negotiation

Most people see negotiation as an interaction between two parties with the goal of each party being to get the most they can out of their opponent, in order to gain the advantage.

This is not true!

The idea is to realise that the situation is the adversary and the person across the table is actually your negotiating partner. A partner who is to be worked with, not against.

This course will provide you with the skills and tools to become a samurai at negotiation.


You cannot negotiate with people who say what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is negotiable
