3 or 2 days in length

For Senior or more experienced Managers

Presented by Richard Searle

 

This Workshop is typically 3 or 2 Days in length and targeted at senior or more experienced managers. The Workshop is built around a Value Maximization and Mutual Gains Framework and has a focus on your workplace negotiations.  Topics typically covered include complex negotiations, deal making, and the influencing, joint decision making and stakeholder management challenges which face many senior managers.

The Workshop is high energy, very enjoyable and highly interactive. We use lots of real world examples, and the relevant exercises and simulations are written either by the Presenters or sourced from the Program on Negotiation at Harvard University and the Dispute Settlement Centre at Kellogg Business School.  We provide a range of laminated Guides and memory jogs to take back to the workplace.

Richard Searle is the lead Presenter.  Richard spent fifteen years engaged in Industrial Relations negotiations, Government and Regulatory negotiations, and Landlord and Tenant negotiations.  Richard has spent another fifteen years teaching management and commercial negotiations to thousands of managers from hundreds of businesses and organisations.  Richard is educated at Harvard University and in the Program on Negotiation at Harvard University.  Richard strives for what he calls a 3E approach to negotiation education – effective, efficient and enjoyable learning.
