Negotiating To Yes

The program derives from the work of Dr. William Ury of the Harvard Negotiation Team.  The participants learn how to focus on the interests (as opposed to the positions) of both themselves and their counterparts.  The program builds skill in questioning, listening, problem-solving, persuading, strategizing, and countering the unfair tactics used by others.
