Advanced Negotiation and Influencing

Negotiate with confidence and influence others to drive better outcomes

Negotiation is a core skill that we use to enable more resilient relationships, more efficient interactions, and more valuable outcomes. Yet, most negotiators rely on a relatively narrow set of predictable tactics that are often disconnected from the present dynamics. This course will provide you with a comprehensive approach to negotiating and influencing that better captures the complexity of real-world negotiation and gives you more choice for how to improve results in both formal and informal negotiations.

Key Outcomes

Strategic Negotiation
add
  • Adapt generic strategies to situational dynamics
  • Create and claim value, with and without using power
  • Recognise the role of rationality and emotions in negotiation, and how to adapt your approach to each
  • Identify the broad strategic choices available to negotiators, and some of the predictable consequences of each choice

Influence in Negotiation
add
  • Challenging limiting assumptions and their impact on your strategy
  • Understand what people want, what drives their behaviour and how to influence this
  • Understand the role of the relationship; where it helps, and where it can lead to manipulation
  • Improve your self-awareness, enabling you to replace emotions and reactions with proactive, constructive and respectful behaviours.

Program Experience

This highly interactive and practical program includes a mix of presentations, exercises, group discussions and simulations.
