Details

Negotiations occur in your place of business, internally with stakeholders, externally with clients and vendors. Do you find you negotiate with your family and friends, too?  How well prepared are you?  How do you prepare?  Are you looking to leave nothing on the table or are you a constantly giving ground?  Are you trying to split right down the middle?
 
Please join the NW AFP for this unique opportunity to build or polish your negotiation skills with Penny Vermie, professor at the University of Washington!  We’ll talk about how to prepare, decide what your mindset would be and understand how interest based negotiations take place.
 
Be prepared to interact, this session will require audience participation.
