Negotiation Skills

Negotiating is an essential set of skills that we use in all aspects of our lives, sometimes without even realising it. Negotiations are a way of reaching an agreement and can be about anything; from the type of coffee you want, to the terms of a new employment contract. We look at various types of negotiation and provide guidance on how to negotiate well.
  • Identify what the focus is for successful negotiations
  • Practise working through the negotiation process
  • Apply the associated skills in a safe and supportive environment
  • Training options for individual learners, groups/teams & organisation-wide
