Secure the best outcomes using psychology and practical techniques
In 1 or 2 packed and practical days you’ll discover how to work through the four distinct phases of a negotiation, how to handle challenges, and how to devise ethical win-win approaches.
The techniques in the programme will help you whether you are trying to influence and negotiate in a formal or informal situation, and upwards, downwards or sideways. It will help you think about how you can adapt your own communication style to be a more effective in your interactions. And overall it will help you to be a more confident and convincing influencer and communicator.

Yes, and also face to face. It's equally suitable for both options.

If you have 6 or more people to train it's worth getting in touch to discuss in-house options.
These include:
- your choice of structure – as well as choosing dates to suit you, you can also decide whether to have the content delivered in full days, half-day sessions or bitesize sessions over separate days.
- tailoring options – if you're looking to focus on particular elements of the programme, we can look into this.
- self-directed learning – this enables participants to set learning goals, acquire knowledge and skills, set their own actions and evaluate themselves using a customised web portal which we'll build for you.
In order to make sure your in-house training needs are met, the best way to start this process is with a conversation (for free of course).
