This is your opportunity to learn from an International Specialist in the field of negotiation and dispute resolution
Negotiating and Managing Conflict
Every day there will be occasions when we all need to:
- negotiate successful outcomes
- deal with difficult people
- handle potential conflict situations
Rather than just talking about the skills and models for negotiation and conflict resolution, this course will provide the opportunity to experience them as you practice with experimental exercises. The programme is highly interactive, experiential, fun and insightful.
