Description

Would you be happy negotiating with your boss or a business rival?

What professional opportunities would be unlocked if you understood how companies negotiate with one another?

How can you develop an authentic style when negotiating that balances risk and enhances your skillset?

Join us for the fourth workshop of ACE Saturdays 2019 - BioEscalator Business Toolkit to learn new skills with like-minded colleagues in a fun and interactive way.

This highly engaging workshop will help attendees from all disciplines to understand the specific factors that drive their current approaches to deal-making and negotiation at the individual, firm, and market-societal levels. Participants will uncover their own negotiation style with a diagnostic exercise and learn to identify, understand and incorporate factors such as ego, uncertainty, risk, and relationships in negotiations with colleagues and future partners.

Drawing upon leading academic research in the field of entrepreneur deal-making and negotiation the workshop introduces the principles and theories underlying effective deal-making and negotiation. Through interactive role play and simulations attendees will...

• Build self-awareness and learn your personal negotiation style
• Gain confidence in approaching negotiations
• Learn tools to handle complex situations 
• Practice negotiating in a realistic setting
