Special Three-Day Combined Program

Filed in: Executive Education Seminars (2-3 Day Courses) , Executive Training

The Special 3-Day Program combines two courses in their entirety- The Program on Negotiation for Senior Executives and Dealing With Difficult People and Difficult Situations. Each course is 1.5 days in duration — registering for the combined 3-day program allows you to engage in three continuous days of learning.

The Program on Negotiation for Senior Executives is a 1.5 day course carefully designed to help you achieve better outcomes during negotiation; become more proficient in long-term decision making; enhance your leadership skills; or more easily reach consensus with people working around you.

Dealing With Difficult People and Difficult Situations is a 1.5 day course based on a set of breakthrough strategies you can use to turn aside attacks, escape from seemingly impossible situations and move from face-to-face confrontation to more productive negotiating results.

You will benefit from the three-day course by saving money (almost $1,000) and limiting time away from work. We have scheduled the courses to run back-to-back so you can take advantage of this intense, hands-on learning experience more efficiently.

Dealing with Difficult People and Difficult Situations

Filed in: Executive Education Seminars (2-3 Day Courses) , Executive Training

In this program, you will learn how to negotiate with someone who refuses to cooperate and bargain in good faith, or who stonewalls and won‘t bargain at all. You will learn what to do when the other side resorts to threats, dirty tricks or personal attacks, as well as how to break through negotiating logjams created by a hard bargainer’s bad behavior without ruining your chances for success.

Based on a set of breakthrough strategies you can use to turn aside attacks, escape from seemingly impossible situations and move from face-to-face confrontation to more productive negotiating results.
