Reframing Conflict as a Catalyst for Growth
Everyday Negotiations: Small Steps, Big Wins
The Emotionally Intelligent Negotiator
Negotiation Beyond Borders: From Faux Pas to Shared Success
You've found a solution to a challenge your organization has been grappling with, and you know it could make a real impact.
The real test isn't the idea itself- it's getting others to believe in it. Without formal authority, driving progress feels out of reach.
The truth is, success often depends less on your title and more on how you influence - and whom you're influencing.
This session explores practical strategies - both subtle and direct - for gaining agreement and securing full commitment to your ideas from others.

The Emotionally Intelligent Negotiator
Negotiation Beyond Borders: From Faux Pas to Shared Success
We've all faced challenging situations - uncooperative behavior, high emotions, or moments that feel unfair. It's easy to feel powerless when others don't play by the rules. Under pressure to deliver results, some negotiators may even justify small lies, believing they won't be noticed.
How can you raise concerns about unethical behavior while maintaining respect and encouraging accountability?
This session provides practical strategies to navigate challenging dynamics with confidence, foster open dialogue, and respond effectively without escalating conflict - even in the toughest conversations.

Negotiation Beyond Borders: From Faux Pas to Shared Success
Many people avoid conflict out of fear, uncertainty, or concern about escalating the situation. But unaddressed conflicts rarely disappear - they allow the behavior to persist or signal acceptance of unwanted behavior.
This session helps participants understand their natural approach to conflict and provides practical frameworks to reframe and navigate conflicts effectively. Learn how mindfulness and deliberate practice can help you respond in ways that turn conflict into opportunities for growth and stronger collaboration.

The Emotionally Intelligent Negotiator
Negotiation Beyond Borders: From Faux Pas to Shared Success
Recognizing opportunities to negotiate is just as important as negotiating effectively. Passing up smaller opportunities can limit your confidence and skill when it comes to bigger, high-stakes negotiations.
This session explores how to recognize and evaluate a negotiation opportunity's potential payoffs and investments - financial, emotional, and psychological - and identify unhelpful habits or subconscious tendencies that can hold negotiators back.

The Emotionally Intelligent Negotiator
Cross-cultural negotiations call for awareness, sensitivity, and adaptability - because even familiar gestures can be misunderstood. "Yes" doesn't always mean yes, silence doesn't always mean agreement, and a gesture of respect in one culture may be interpreted very differently in another. Misunderstandings of unintentional missteps can jeopardize both deals and relationships.
This session helps participants understand how cultural dimensions, communication styles, customs, and expectations shape negotiation outcomes, and provide strategies to anticipate differences, prepare effectively, and leverage cultural intelligence to build strong, respectful and successful partnerships.
