Negotiations are a fundamental part of professional life, weaving through everything from everyday team interactions to major business deals. Knowing how to ethically influence others and prepare strategically can dramatically boost your outcomes, build stronger working relationships, and position you as a trusted voice in any discussion.
In this dynamic session, you’ll explore the power of perspective-taking, leverage, and persuasion—tools that, when applied thoughtfully, drive more meaningful results. Led by Dr. Kristie Rogers, who specializes in helping professionals harness influence without sacrificing integrity, this session will elevate how you approach the negotiation table every single time.
Attendees will:
- Learn how to prepare by analyzing both your own priorities and those of the other party.
- Discover proven persuasion tactics that ethically guide conversations to a mutually beneficial agreement.
- Practice these strategies in a hypothetical scenario and see how small shifts in approach can yield significant outcomes.
- Understand the role of credibility and trust in achieving positive, long-term negotiation success.
- Take home a diagnostic tool to identify and refine your personal negotiation style.
Join us for this engaging workshop that will enhance your ability to navigate negotiations with confidence, clarity, and genuine influence—no matter what stage you’re at in your career.
