Welcome to Rarely Taught’s Successful Negotiations:Become a Confident Negotiator Course.
We believe Negotiating STARTS with YOU, and in this unique negotiations course we are going to touch on a lot of applicable content to help you become a confident and successful negotiator.
So, what is involved in our course?!
We know negotiating when done right, can drastically improve you life for the better. In our 10 lesson course, we will share with you how you can negotiate to win, not only at life, but within.
We know it isn’t always easy having the courage to stand up for what you want and believe in. That being said, gaining this courage is essential for getting to your full potential in a negotation and in life. We all have potential, but not utilizing it while here doesn’t have to be the case. So, let me help you become a successful negotiator of your life experiences and in essence yourself.
I’m going to ask you a few questions and hope I don’t get to personal.
Here we go:
Have you felt like when you try to negotiate you have the other person’s feelings in mind more than your own best interest(s)? “Maybe I’m asking too much?” you think. You continue, “How would I feel in their shoes? Should I make that suggestion? I don’t want to offend “said person”…” Or, maybe you are the person who has only “me” involved in the negotiation and you want to start being more considerate of others?
You see when a negotiation happens, we usually have some sort of internal dialogue going on where our body posture emits what we are thinking, definitely more than what our mouth says. When we feel intimidated, awkward, or not comfortable in our position. Or, the opposite, if we feel confident, and in control, we will show in our body language how we feel internally.
That’s probably stating the obvious, still, there is so much more to negotiating than what is at surface level. If you are like me, you don’t want the other people to feel taken advantage of, yet you also don’t want to feel had. Or, maybe you don’t care, and well, that’s your space. Usually, there is a fine dance between the parties involved in the negotiation, and there are ways to make a negotiation a success for both parties.
For instance, assuming you do care about your outcome and the other person too an extent, as well. I’m assuming you are a good human being here. Most probably then, you are empathetic to another person’s wants and needs, and you’ll no doubt, during a conversation ask yourself how they may feel, or if you said something the right way? Did I ask too much?
If this is the case you can deem yourself a conscientious negotiator.
The problem at times is when we don’t deal with another conscientious negotiator, but disingenuous negotiator. Then there is also the issue that will muddy our negotiation every single time, that being, if we don’t know why you are asking for “said thing” fully to justify our “ask.” Metaphorically, you already have a whole in your boat before you even attempt to cross the lake. In this course, we will address how you can make sure you have one solid, water safe boat…
In our course we address these topics, along with other ones (Please check out our Individual Lesson Titles to see more topics we address)
Distributive Negotiation, Integrative Negotiations, Multiparty Negotiations, Team Negotiations, preparing, information exchange, spatial awareness, body language, and bargaining.
We have 10 short lessons that each will take you about 10-15 minutes to read through. We know you will walk away from this course with tidbits of great information that’ll stick with you for years to come. Thanks ahead of time, enjoy!
