Successful Negotiation: Essential Strategies and Skills

This course teaches negotiation as a learnable skill rather than an innate talent. You will learn how to separate positions from underlying interests, calculate your walk-away point before you ever sit at the table, and choose the right strategy for distributive versus collaborative deals. You will practice concrete tactics for anchoring, conceding, and countering pressure moves, and you will learn how to manage emotions, your own and the other side's, when the stakes are high. By the end, you will be able to plan a negotiation from scratch, hold your ground under pressure, and close agreements that actually stick.
