While negotiations are often thought to be reserved for top executives and formal boardrooms, we all negotiate all day, every day. From negotiating a weekend activity with our family members, to negotiating solutions to customer requests, to discussing a raise with an employer, to negotiating assignments on a team, negotiation skills are a critical part of our daily interactions. When asked about negotiations, most people describe a desired and productive outcome as a compromise. Many even begin negotiations by advising the parties that compromise is essential.

There is a better way. Beyond Compromise: A Better Way to Negotiate is an interactive program where participants discover how to balance complex human relationships with a focus on results to achieve win/win outcomes in negotiations.
