What our clients say
“The emphasis upon clarity of positioning one’s intention is a negotiation game changer”
MARK HEBBLEWHITE
Barrister & Mediator, Victorian Bar
“Great course – loved the way that theory and practice were linked and the use of video to play back and highlight points of great application. Got a lot out of it.”
ADAM BEAUMONT
CEO, Forest Stewardship Council Australia
“Great energy, a lot of learnings. The power of following a deal cycle and knowing when to ask pertinent questions to get agree- ment can be crucial in negotiation success. The most valuable part was the “win-with” philosophy and I found the part around Spiritual Intelligence very eye opening. The experiential part was a good way to learn by doing.”
