Best Negotiating Practices®

Negotiation Training for Professionals Across Job Functions

Business is filled with a myriad of decisions every day, and every professional function is more successful when the team member is effective at influencing decision making. Negotiating is the tool of influence that can be learned and even mastered. From foundation to advanced skills and strategies, Watershed’s workshop participants explore scenarios of increasing complexity, with expert coaching and peer feedback that results in more confidence and skill as negotiators.
