Negotiations are something we all experience in our professional lives: vendor contracts, union negotiations, and other mission-critical negotiations that occur every day. We all do it at some point in our lives and few of us have received any formal training to help us get the best outcomes possible for ourselves or our organizations.
Washington Hospital Services is partnering with the Paul Merage School of Business at the University of California at Irvine (UCI) to offer a five week virtual program that will get you ready for your next negotiation. Blending theory, skills, and plenty of practice with other students, this course will provide participants with the tools, skills, and experience necessary to make immediate improvements in their negotiations.
This course will feature group lecture, discussion, and small group breakouts to role play different aspects of negotiation.
"I learned so much from Dr. Bauman's 4-hour negotiations course that I saved my organization $60,000 when I renegotiated a contract the following week. Dr. Bauman combines research-based skills building with interactive role play exercises in a way that is both fun and highly informative. I was disappointed when the course was over: I wanted more! I recommend this program for anyone responsible for negotiating on the part of their companies."
