Negotiation Foundations: A Real-time Virtual Experience

Influence success. Create value.

You negotiate all the time—whether it's with clients or partners, vendors or colleagues, leadership or new hires. Successful negotiators are equipped with self-awareness, preparation and practice. This special live virtual offering is packed with rapid fire case studies, individual, pair and group exercises. 

Get proven strategies to navigate complex situations, create value, and enhance key relationships. We'll guide you from simple, everyday situations to complex scenarios through interactive simulations, extensive feedback and insights from real-world examples. You will also learn how to adapt your negotiation strategies to succeed in the remote work environment you're currently navigating because of the COVID-19 crisis.

Flexible Learning Design during COVID-19

Don't feel alone while you learn online. We've designed this program to respect both the current challenges of working from home while maintaining and building connections with a class of your peers across different industries and organizations. You'll still gain the networking and learning benefits of our in-class programs while learning from the comfort of your own home with a schedule adapted to your current needs.

This program also includes a self-assessment to help you identify your baseline negotiating preferences so you have a strong understanding of areas to target during the program.
