How to Get (More of) What you Want:
Mastering Influence and Negotiation Strategies
October 18, 21
(Fee)
|
You open your calendar and see that you are scheduled today to negotiate with a colleague over the details of a new project. What is your first thought?
- Get ready for a fight?
- Reschedule for some other day (“Is never good for you?”).
- Figure out quickly how you two can reach an agreement?
- Or armor up and go in swinging?
What do these responses have in common? They all flow from a single perspective—that negotiation is a battle. But, does it have to be? Is there a better way to get (more of) what you want in your negotiated interactions? Of course there is—and that is the subject of this exclusive two-part, 180-minute SSIR Live! webinar (October 19 & 21). This interdisciplinary program series is designed to benefit social sector leaders who struggle to negotiate with funders, grantmakers, public policy directors, and other stakeholders.
