Comments from previous participants
It alteredmy approach to every business interaction thereafter, having the ability to derive whatsuccessfuloutcomes could look like, and how to reach that point. It paid for itself within the first week of putting the skills to effect.
J Gardner, Building and Construction Sector Professional
I enjoyed the course immensely. I'm already finding it practically useful in ways I hadn't expected! Like having greater influence and outcomes in internal communications that wouldn't typically be thought of as negotiations.
Michael KI. New Zealand
I have never been offered any negotiation training and having completed the course; I can safely say not once have I prepared appropriately. This realisation came as a bit of a shock. How could this be after twenty years in the construction industry?
