The strength of a conversation will almost always dictate its outcome - and because of this, every conversation we have is a negotiation of sorts. Whether it’s debating politics with friends, where to go on holiday with family - or something with higher stakes, such as negotiating a pay rise or closing a huge business deal, when you sharpen your communication skills, you can achieve the results you want.
Over one intensive and fun day with leading negotiation skills trainer Simon Horton, you will be guided through the fundamentals of communication effectively and with impact, so that you can enter into any negotiation confident in your ability to steer its outcome in your favour.

Through interactive games, seminar-style talks, practical role play, discussions with fellow attendees, and critical analyses into techniques and their implications, you will learn how to understand the other party in any negotiation, how to deal with deadlock, and how to tackle more complex conversations. Ultimately, you will come away with newfound confidence in your ability to have more fulfilling conversations.

  • Resolving deadlock
