Workshop: Developing Negotiation Skills: Discover Your Abundant Influence

Presented by: Dave Flory, CFPIM, CIRM

Date: Friday, April 25, 2008

Time: 9:00 AM - 3:15 PM

This workshop will use experiential learning techniques to allow participants to identify, learn, and apply basic negotiation strategies and skills in both one-on-one situations as well as in teams. The workshop is constructed around multiple negotiation exercises including where participants will negotiate single attributes, multiple attributes, and deal with more complex situations where rewards are varied, outcome uncertainty is greater, parties have unequal power, and increasing number of parties are vying for scarce resources.

In this “hands-on” workshop, participants will discover how to analyze their own interests (what they want to achieve) as well as those of others; develop a position (what you tell the other party you want – not always the same as your actual interest!); exchange information (and when to do so!); make assessments and reach conclusions under time pressure; leverage their personality to be a better negotiator; assess their own “power” and how to use it most effectively; and avoid common pitfalls of negotiations.

After this workshop you will be able to:

  • Analyze you own interests (what you want to achieve) as well as those of others
  • Develop a position (what you tell the other party you want - not always the same as your actual interest!)
  • Exchange information (and when to do so!)
  • Make assessments and reach conclusions under time pressure
  • Leverage your personality to be a better negotiator
  • Avoid common pitfalls of negotiations
