This workshop is SkillsFuture Credit-eligible and can be delivered face-to-face or online. 

 

We negotiate all the time. Whether it’s winning resources for our teams, asking our managers for time off or getting the best deal with a supplier, negotiation can help us to get the outcomes we want. 

This workshop will show you how to negotiate in a way that builds relationships and leaves both sides happy with the final result. Over the two days you will watch video clips, discuss real-life case studies and take part in a variety of role plays to immediately put your new skills into practice.

This workshop is for you if …
