Everyday Influence: Mastering the Art of Positive Negotiation
(Online or In Person)
Facilitator: William Brown
Would you like to remove the stigma and stress around negotiation?
Do you realize that everyone negotiates, every day — and it doesn’t have to feel like a battle? How would you like to learn proven, ethical tactics based on Roger Dawson’s “Win-Win Negotiating” framework?
Key Takeaways:
- Recognize when they’re already negotiating (often unconsciously)
- Use Dawson’s gambits to gain influence without being manipulative
- Close more win-win agreements — in business, at home, and everywhere in between.
