GREAT NEGOTIATORS ARE NOT BORN THAT WAY. THEY ARE TRAINED.
In 2000 a young 18-year-old Californian baseball player named Matt Harrington was drafted in the Major Leagues by the Colorado Rockies with great fanfare. Despite being tagged as a once-in-a-generation pitching phenom and remaining injury-free, he never threw a single pitch for the Rockies (or any other team in the league) despite being redrafted numerous times through 2005.
What should have potentially been a long, illustrious and enriching professional sports career turned out to be a job working at a local Costco. This was not due to bad luck or unforeseen circumstances but the result of an abject failure in understanding and properly negotiating.
Negotiations is a critical skill yet very few executives and entrepreneurs are formally trained or even comprehend the basics. This is due to a mistaken belief that negotiating is a natural skill. Great negotiators are not born that way. They are trained.
Join negotiation expert, Georges Levesque who will speak of the value of becoming a skilled negotiator, explain basic terminology, overview the ‘Negotiation Framework’, teach the top do's and don’ts, as well as provide some practical tips such as how best to buy a car and a home. Attendees will walk away with useful and relevant content that can beneficially be applied immediately.
