Course Overview

Negotiating and influencing are critical elements of any person's skill set to achieve success in the modern organisation. From competing for scarce internal resource and influencing team members or colleagues through to securing 'win-win' outcomes with suppliers and stakeholders, we are all required to utilise more sophisticated interpersonal skills and approaches.

This two day negotiating skills programme develops confidence, and provides a broader perspective of the negotiating arena in often difficult and sensitive situations. Participants practise new techniques and tactics in a range of circumstances.

Audience

Non-sales professionals, specialists, functional and operational managers/team leaders who need to significantly influence and change peoples' opinions or viewpoints.
