Effective Negotiation, Communication and Conflict Management as a part of your daily life.

What does it mean to be an excellent negotiator?

”You get what you negotiate and not necessarily what you deserve.” C.L.Karrass.

”To be able to create a number of alternative solutions, put the interests at focus and separate relations from the task.” Harvard Negotiation project

or

”To master the art of increasing understanding and finding common grounds of interests.”

Skilled negotiators can find solutions in order to reach an agreement that leads to an advantage for all parties involved.

Communication in its higher dimension is the only way in order to constructively and in a positive and effective manner reach this goal.”
Jan-Åke Björck.

Getting to Yes.

Why is it then so important to be a skillful negotiator?  Excellence in negotiation will provide for solutions when it comes to differences in opinions and conflicts in a constructive and positive manner. Actually top negotiators rarely end up in conflict situations.

Our methods are unique in such a way that competence is in focus rather than traditional knowledge. This is being achieved via training, practice and reflection. We usually say that practicing a successful behavior more than 5 times brings a permanent behavior that becomes a natural part of you, for the rest of your life.

Negotiation is a psychological game where communication and conflict handling are vital aspects.

Knowledge of business aspects is also a vital part in business negotiations as it is important to understand what you negotiate about and the consequences that may follow.

The difference between our training and traditional training is the cross knowledge which takes into consideration the human aspects and the psychological aspects as well as the business aspects.

Negotiation courses are often very popular because they include exercises that exemplify real situations which results in very stimulating exercises. This is very good, because we want participants who enjoy the course and we fully believe that this in turn will result in learning new skills.

However, what we also want to achieve, is that the participants try new and different behavior which will improve the negotiation process, so that you really improve in what you are doing in daily life.

Unfortunately many traditional training programs miss this very important aspect in the learning process.
