One Day Workshop on Negotiation Essentials

This course examines the key features of integrative (i.e., pie-expanding) and distributive (i.e., pie-slicing) negotiations, BATNAs (CARDs), target points, anchoring, resistance points, and creating options. It also critically explores important methods of persuasion, how to use them effectively, and how to defend against them (in particular, how to counter various negotiation and persuasive techniques). High-powered or multi-faceted negotiations require special attention to, or emphasis on, particular themes. This course also focuses on issues of leadership, ethics, and trust, as well as dealing with difficult people and circumstances, problem-solving, and creativity. The learning environment is interactive and experiential, featuring open discussions, negotiation simulations, opportunities to analyze and evaluate disparate outcomes, and direct feedback. Contact us for a more detailed description and pricing.

Power & Influence in the Workplace

Understanding and utilizing influence, power, and organizational politics is crucial for strategic career advancement and cultivating a highfunctioning corporate culture. Instead of allowing power dynamics to spiral into toxicity, it’s crucial to make a deliberate effort to cultivate a culture where organizational politics are positive and empowering. This workshop focuses on the Four Dimensions of Political Skill, which turn potential pitfalls into opportunities for success:

 

Social Astuteness: Cultivating a keen sense of reading and understanding others, using empathy and awareness to harmonize effort.

 

Interpersonal Influence: Leading through trust and respect, inspiring others with actions rather than relying on coercion or dictating terms.

 

Networking Ability: Forming genuine, cross-departmental relationships that facilitate the free flow of information and accelerate problem-solving.

 

Apparent Sincerity: Exuding genuine honesty and integrity to build high levels of trust, encouraging risk-taking and commitment to the corporate vision.

 

By weaving these dimensions into the fabric of daily operations, the concept of organizational politics is elevated from a battleground to a thriving community, resulting in higher employee satisfaction, greater innovation, and more decisive leadership. Positive organizational politics are not just possible, but powerful. Contact us for a more detailed description and pricing.

Teams & Leadership

Visionary Leadership: It’s about more than just setting goals; it’s about painting a compelling picture of the future and inspiring collective dedication. Leaders articulate a clear purpose that resonates with every team member, encouraging engagement and shared ownership.

Empowerment & Delegation: This isn’t about offloading tasks — it’s about trusting team members with meaningful responsibilities and providing the autonomy to excel. This approach builds confidence, fosters skill development, and allows leaders to focus on strategic priorities.

Conflict Facilitation (Not Avoidance): Healthy teams understand that conflict is inevitable but manageable. Leaders are equipped to facilitate constructive disagreements, turning potential disputes into productive discussions that strengthen collaboration.

Inclusive Collaboration: True team strength comes from valuing every voice and perspective. Leaders learn to actively seek diverse input, ensuring everyone feels heard and respected, leading to richer solutions and stronger team cohesion.

Continuous Development: High-performing teams and leaders are committed to continuous learning and growth. By fostering a culture of feedback, mentorship, and adaptation, they stay agile and resilient in the face of change.
