About this course

The Negotiation course will equip you with the knowledge and skills for effective negotiation to drive mutually beneficial outcomes. You will come away with increased confidence in your ability to negotiate by playing to your strengths to build trust and long-term relationships, take the lead and shape the outcomes in ways that bring others along willingly.

We are all called on to negotiate multiple times daily, in our personal and professional lives. Regardless of the situation and no matter which level of the organisation you are in, your power to influence others and negotiate outcomes is one of the most important skills you can possess for satisfaction, advancement, and even success. Even if you have incredible ideas, you need to ‘sell’ them to make them effective.

This negotiation course is ideal for:

  • Those seeking to be more effective in negotiating, convincing or persuading others as part of their role
  • Require general negotiating, convincing or persuading skills that they can use in multiple life and business applications
