Building on the negotiation skills component of the other LR Certificate classes, this program approaches negotiations as involving the sometimes conflicting motivations to compete and to cooperate. Through negotiation simulations and lecture, participants learn and practice a variety of approaches to negotiations, how their effectiveness varies by situation, the effectiveness of their own style and how to flex it, and practice value-claiming and value-creating at the same time.
