A New Negotiation Mindset
Lead with Influence:
80% of executives consistently leave value on the negotiation table, 20% on average. This happens because negotiations are often viewed as tactical zero-sum power and persuasion exercises. To realize the maximum potential in negotiations, a change in mindset is required; negotiations should be approached with a problem-solving mindset.
The challenge, however, is that in order to solve a problem you must first understand it, and to do that, you need information that is likely held by others across the table. If your intention is to persuade, the other party will withhold it to protect themselves. To get this information you will need to build trust, and one of the most effective ways to do this is by changing your mindset from an intention to persuade to an intention to understand and problem-solve.
In this masterclass, participants will explore an integrated approach to engage in any negotiation. You will be introduced to visual tools and processes to help you replace old, hardwired negotiation patterns with new mental pathways to structure negotiations – essentially rewiring your brain!
