Negotiation is a skill that we all use on a daily basis – why not learn to do it well? These six 60-90 minute workshops will help you prepare for your own negotiations, be they contract discussions, written funding applications, organizational planning meetings, or day-to-day management. Participants will learn the principles and language of negotiation, plus have the opportunity to investigate how these principles apply to their own situation.
