Mastering Negotiations (NEG.48)

Duration: 3 Days

Negotiate effectively, successfully, and confidently

Negotiation is a vital skill for any leader, but it can be difficult to practice in real-life situations, where you’re unlikely to receive feedback or get opportunities to experiment with new tactics. 
 
Mastering Negotiations is your chance to level-up from an experienced negotiator into an expert one. Utilizing a “workshop-style” format, it offers you the opportunity to actually practice new negotiation styles, experience new scenarios and learn from the diverse perspectives of your class mates. 
 
The course will: 

  • Help you identify the right negotiating tactics for different scenarios 

  • Teach you how to both claim value and add value during negotiations 

  • Develop your skills handling complex or challenging negotiations 

  • Allow you to practice new tactics and learn by doing

Testimonials

"In 2022, I had the opportunity to practice one of my favorite sports: negotiation! Moreover, I had the privilege of doing so in a safe environment guided by exceptional faculty from ESMT Berlin and surrounded by accomplished professionals who provided highly valuable peer-to-peer feedback.

I also achieved higher levels of self-awareness by reflecting on my own negotiation style and the conflict-handling modes I tend to naturally rely more on. Simply being aware of this can be such a powerful tool. And above all, I had tons of fun!"

Marianella Chabaneau, Chief Operating Officer, Green Enesys

"I chose this program because the topic of negotiation is always a controversial one, and I was intrigued by the idea of learning techniques that could be applied to work life and beyond. The highlights included learning ethical negotiations, considering not only techniques but also how to manage feelings, and how to achieve a great deal for all parties involved. 

I recommend this program to project managers, managers, and individuals in direct client interactions. It's an amazing course where you can learn by doing, so don't be shy—take the challenge and join the ESMT Community starting with Mastering Negotiation!" 

Alessia Rossi, Senior Consultant, Allianz Consulting
