Experts Online - Leave Nothing on the Table: The Art of Skillful Negotiation
Webcast Event - April 18, 2007; 2:00 - 3:30 PM
Real Estate and Management Webcast
Dealing with contractors, general, sub-, or professional services. Applying for tax credit allocations. Talking with colleagues, bosses or the board. Purchasing supplies. Meeting with the community. We spend the majority of our waking hours in some sort of negotiation. From formal talks to informal walks, each one of us is working to get what we want or need from others who may or may not have the same interest or goals. How do we reach an agreement that makes all parties feel they have won? A lot depends on personal relationships and individual styles, but there's also plenty of basic knowledge that any skilled negotiator can adapt to his/her own personal style and the circumstances of each negotiation. This webcast weaves the theory with real on-the-ground examples and demonstrates both the practice and the art of preparing for and conducting skillful negotiations. Start your negotiation strategy here, and make sure you don't leave anything on the table!
