Building Practical Skills for Negotiation, Leadership, and Change
Training programs are designed to help individuals and organizations develop practical, immediately applicable skills. Drawing on over two decades of teaching and facilitation experience, these sessions support participants in becoming more effective negotiators, leaders, and collaborators at work and beyond.
Negotiation & Conflict Management
You negotiate every day at work, at home, and in everyday interactions. Some negotiations involve money; many do not. Some are formal, with customers or vendors, while most are informal conversations with colleagues and partners.
These training programs build confidence, competence, and strategic awareness so participants can navigate negotiations and conflicts more effectively.
Topics include:
-
Influencing skills
-
Agency, power, and coalitions
-
Emotions and negotiating styles
-
Team and multi-party negotiations
-
Preparation and stakeholder management
-
Conflict management and mediation skills
-
Communication and difficult conversations
-
Competitive and collaborative negotiation strategies
Leadership & Change Management
Leadership is needed at every level of an organization and directly impacts the ability to achieve meaningful goals. These programs draw on experience working with companies, nonprofits, educational institutions, government agencies, and individuals.
The focus is on strengthening leadership capacity, improving decision-making, and leading effectively through change.
Topics include:
-
Coaching and developing others
-
Leading teams and facilitating groups
-
Values, vision, and emotional intelligence
-
Empowerment, engagement, and collaboration

Interactive, Experiential Learning
People learn skills best through experience. Workshops are highly interactive and activity-based.
Participants engage in real-world simulations, reflect on what happened, connect experiences to relevant theory, and apply insights directly to their own professional challenges. The goal is for participants to leave with practical tools they can use immediately.
