For those interested in particpating in the Virtual Business Negotiation Skills Program, please reach out to Mike Lang at mlang@nacd.com to discuss registration.
Negotiation is the art and science of securing agreements between two or more interdependent parties. Effective negotiation—whether with partners, employers, managers, clients, or colleagues—is a foundational skill in management and leadership. This course will teach you how to use differences to gain a positional advantage, and it will help you to better understand how varying demographics can influence the negotiation process.
Although individuals aim to achieve the best possible outcome in any negotiation, differences with other parties may seem insurmountable. The most effective negotiators capitalize on strengths while understanding how to leverage the differing perspectives of those around the table. The Business Negotiation Skills program is designed to help you better understand how differences can be opportunities rather than obstacles in a negotiation, and teaches proven effective strategies that can help you attain a better outcome. You will have the opportunity to develop your skills by participating in live negotiations in a variety of diverse settings, integrating your personal experiences with key principles from exercises and course discussions.

Hence, the purpose of this program is to critically examine the issues facing women who aspire to hold such positions and to better understand the strategies employed by those who have successfully navigated to top organizational roles. In a supportive environment, you will explore the latest research, discuss best practices, and reflect on how you can be a more effective leader when managing and navigating the corporate landscape.
Anyone with 5+ years professional experience managing people/projects.
