Forty years of interdisciplinary research suggests that people fall into predictable traps when negotiating. Part 1 of this interactive workshop gave participants the chance to do two negotiations, and provide evidence-based prescriptive advice for how to avoid some of these traps. Part 2 suggested how we can be more effective in negotiations and challenging conversations by building three kinds of confidence — Awareness, Mastery and Poise.
