There can often be a power imbalance in the Boardroom with governance professionals relying on a set of core "soft" skills to get their job done. Join GPC for this exciting course and learn more about Negotiation,  Persuasion, Influence! 

Content:

No two negotiations are the same. Political (internal or external), economic, environmental, and a variety of other factors will present themselves in different ways in different negotiations. You cannot control these variables, no matter how talented a negotiator you are.

What you can influence, and control is how you prepare for the pending negotiation, how you present yourself as a negotiator, and how you offer acceptable solutions that, ultimately, work for all parties.

This course will also examine the Persuasion, Influence, and Compliance tools that are powerful, and scientific based. They do not require coercion, intimidation or hierarchical authority but are built around a mutually beneficial mindset.
