Negoti-action

End Date

Every agreement and business deal in the corporate and human realm is based on the ability to establish and manage effective connections. In today's context, it is crucial to achieve a balance between empathetic components and demands such as the urgency to close a deal, trust management, and firmness in pursuing results.

The course is based on a methodology that strategically and pedagogically integrates three essential components. The disruption of concepts leads the participant to a renewed conceptual framework, preparing them for subsequent stages and freeing them from biases and preconceived notions. This allows them to adopt new and divergent perspectives.

In practical learning, the participant enters a simulation where they assume different roles, working individually or in a team. The purpose is to perfect skills in challenging negotiations and build long-term benefits under a collaborative approach.

Finally, in the assimilation of concepts, after successfully applying specific negotiation techniques, the participant adopts new behavior patterns. These newly acquired guidelines form the foundation of a repertoire of successful actions.
