2:35 PM Workshop: Driving Value In Negotiations: Key Considerations For Success In Challenging Times

An engaging, interactive workshop that equips professionals with practical negotiation strategies they can immediately apply. Rather than focusing on "winning," this session teaches participants how to create value, build trust, and negotiate with confidence while preserving long-term relationships.  

Through real-world examples, hands-on exercises, and proven negotiation frameworks, attendees leave with practical tools they can use to improve communication, reduce costs, and achieve more successful outcomes in context with budgetary pressures and desire for everyone to do more with less in today's environment. 

Participants Will Learn How To: 

  • Develop a strategic negotiation mindset that creates value for all parties 
  • Prepare effectively using research and leverage 
  • Ask powerful questions that uncover priorities and hidden opportunities 
  • Recognize and adapt to different negotiation styles and personalities 
  • Build trust while confidently navigating difficult conversations 
  • Negotiate vendor contracts, budgets, pricing, timelines, and workplace discussions more effectively 
  • Turn conflict into collaboration through relationship-centered negotiation 
  • Leave every negotiation with stronger partnerships and better business results
