The aim of a successful negotiation is to end with benefits for both sides. However, not all negotiations happen that way and quite a few could end up not coming out the way you wanted or envisaged, or possibly ending up with a bad deal, and in the worst-case scenario, a failed negotiation agreement can make the situation worse and lead to even greater conflict.

After this one-day course, you will leave with the skills and confidence to enter into a negotiation situation with renewed confidence and knowledge. You also receive comprehensive course notes, enabling you to continue to access key points and refresher topics as you need them.
