Who is organising this training course?

I am a trilingual Learning Professional located in Luxembourg, with 30 years of experience and a proven track record in industry, academia and consulting. My observation is that technical skills get people hired, but the so-called soft-skills are what allows them to develop their maximum impact. My conviction is that people skills and managerial skills are learnable and teachable. My passion is making breakthrough learning happen through enjoyable training sessions and professional coaching.

What are the aims or the skills being targeted?

This session summarizes advice from some of the leading experts on negotiation and allows participants to:

  • Test their skills and reflexes in a series of structured situations
  • Pick up powerful ideas and questions
  • Step up their negotiation game

What does the training course cover?

Life is a negotiation. We negotiate all the time, often without being aware of it. Topics covered can be budgets, deadlines, workload, salaries, and day-to-day cooperation. Effective negotiation is not about crushing the other side. It's about understanding interests, alternatives, and fairness, and then coming to agreements that people can actually live with. It turns out that many of the preconceived notions about negotiations are not only wrong, but actually harmful.
