Did you know that a single negotiation can make a big impact on your career? According to the Harvard Business Review, "a mere 5% improvement in your negotiation skills can result in an increase of profits ranging from 25% to 85%"!
But it's not just about the money. Being able to effectively negotiate also helps you build relationships, resolve conflicts, and achieve your goals in both your personal and professional life. 💪 With the right training, you can learn how to understand different perspectives, manage emotions, and become a master negotiator.
This 6-week course will utilize negotiation roleplays, to help you apply learned theory and make you more skilled and confident in a negotiation situation. To make the sessions as practical as possible you will have a short preparation homework (book chapter and videos).
You will meet your instructor and classmates. We will explore the role of negotiations in day-to-day life and your future careers. You will set your personal goals for these classes. You will be introduced to the book that we will read during this course: 'Never split the difference' by Chris Voss.
We discuss and implement the conventional negotiation techniques, mostly developed during the 80s and 90s at leading business schools. During exercises, we explore the power and guidance of rationality. This will set the foundation for elaboration in the weeks to follow.
After starting with a case study and exercise, we explore the other facets that drive human behaviour in day-to-day life, specifically in negotiation. You will learn to shift your attention from yourself to the other party.
In this class, we explore what impact emotions have on negotiations. More specifically, we look at the feeling of being in control, one of the key drivers of people's behaviour.
We will explore various tools that will help you have more effective conversations, allowing you to gather information and make the other party feel safe, heard and understood.
The last class is an opportunity to put all your learnings into practice. You will make a plan on how you can make sure that you will benefit from the learnings for the rest of your life.
