Understanding the impact of your personal style
You will have an opportunity to assess your own behavioural traits with guidance from your trainer, gaining an understanding of how they can impact on your negotiations. By modifying certain behaviours you will be able to improve your personal impact and increase your negotiation effectiveness. This can be an eye-opening experience!

You will learn how to plan, execute and close your negotiations with confidence and within a structure that will ensure you are not sidetracked, or lured into accepting unfavourable outcomes.

The Negotiation Skills training course provides plenty of time to practise and develop your new skills through interactive challenges and exercises.
