ESMT - Mastering Negotiations
2023-11-28 - 2023-11-30 | ESMT, ESMT Berlin, Schlossplatz 1, 10178, Berlin, Germany, Berlin, Berlin, 10178, Germany
Negotiation is a vital skill for any leader, but it can be difficult to practice in real-life situations, where you’re unlikely to receive feedback or get opportunities to experiment with new tactics.
Mastering Negotiations is your chance to level-up from an experienced negotiator into an expert one. Utilizing a “workshop-style” format, it offers you the opportunity to actually practice new negotiation styles, experience new scenarios and learn from the diverse perspectives of your classmates.
The course will:

Help you identify the right negotiating tactics for different scenarios
Teach you how to both claim value and add value during negotiations
Develop your skills handling complex or challenging negotiations
Allow you to practice new tactics and learn by doing

Topics:

Key principles and frameworks for negotiations
Negotiation tactics and styles
Assessment and evaluation of offers
Multiparty negotiations, coalition dynamics, the creation of lasting alliances, and sustainable agreements
Cross-cultural negotiations and influences on effective communication and perceptions
Game-theory approaches to strategic interactions and identification of power asymmetries

Benefits:

Learn by doing in a hands-on, workshop style program
Enhance your conceptual, strategic and practical understanding of negotiation
Refine your negotiation skills
Understand how to set up value-adding negotiation scenarios

Hear what past participants had to say:
“ESMT means learning differently: from others, from experience, interactively in group exercises. Mastering Negotiations met all my expectations, with a professional preparation by the ESMT team and a group of qualified participants.”
“I had the opportunity to practice one of my favorite sports: negotiation! Moreover, I had the privilege of doing so in a safe environment guided by exceptional faculty from ESMT and surrounded by accomplished professionals who provided highly valuable peer-to-peer feedback.
I also achieved higher levels of self-awareness by reflecting on my own negotiation style and the conflict-handling modes I tend to naturally rely more on.”
