XCOM-950 - Master Practitioner in Negotiation
Course Description
Whether we know it or not, our days are filled with negotiations. They occur not just in boardrooms and diplomatic efforts, but also as we land on a sales price for a car and navigate relationships with family and friends. To be clear, only a small percentage of the population actually enjoys -- or even likes -- negotiating. Many enter the negotiating process with fear, trepidation or dislike. The key to unlocking it is understanding that the clearest path to success is knowing and understanding your negotiating partner and their desired outcome and working from there.
The "Master Practitioner of Negotiation" on-campus program is an intensive and interactive two and half-day learning experience designed for professionals from all sectors that include corporate, government, military and nonprofits. This course equips participants with advanced negotiation strategies and tactics to navigate complex scenarios, build collaborative relationships and produce outcomes with which both parties can feel satisfied.
Combining expert-led sessions, case studies, and skill-building practical exercises -- all based from theory and lived experience -- the curriculum provides participants the opportunity to master techniques in conflict resolution, ethical and inclusive decision-making and strategic communication. Participants leave the program prepared to lead and participate in negotiations that support both personal and organizational objectives.
