Influencing and Negotiating Skills

In our interconnected world we continuously rely on other people for our success. We need to negotiate and gain buy-in from stakeholders, peers, senior leadership, team members and clients, without the use of formal authority.

This training program provides the skills to form trusting, respectful relationships. We’ll give participants practical tips and strategies to work collaboratively and influentially with others to achieve their goals.
