Normally Three-Day Programme
The final content and detailed agenda will depend on the number of days and trainers allotted.
Delivery Format:
Workshop, Interactive, Participative and Seminar
The course will be very interactive, with participants learning by doing. It will be jargon-free, although standard technical terms will be explained. The course will aim to provide three main benefits:
- to change the thinking of participants, so they approach future negotiations more constructively than before
- to be aware of pre-existing beliefs and assumptions
- to develop certain practical skills that they can apply right away
We usually video participants and provide positive feedback.
