This course is primarily about business negotiation and building confidence in your ability to negotiate effectively. But these skills can be applied in life too. The course presents the tools, structure and influencing skills essential for successful negotiation. We will explore the elements of influence, the effect of personality on negotiation styles, and the key drivers that lead to successful outcomes. We will also equip you with techniques to build trust, navigate through deadlocks, and conduct effective follow-ups post-negotiation.
