Women's Group - Negotiating Skills, Getting to Yes - June

One of the most important skills we can learn is how to negotiate. Leaders of the world rely on experts in negotiation to prevent or end war. Property owners “negotiate” good deals for the sale of their homes. But what about everyday negotiation skills? We may not realize it, but we are negotiating often in our daily lives. We are negotiating about what to eat for dinner. We negotiate how much we will spend on our next vacation.

On this night, we will learn the classic skills for negotiating:  Can we separate the people from the problem? How can we focus on interests and not on positions? A special skill is learning how to develop many options and then to develop objective criteria from which to choose from among those options when making decisions. We are going to practice these skills together during this group.  Negotiation skills do not have to belong to the expert world. You can learn them too. Join us!

Woman Aware is taking a break during the month of July in recognition of the summer holidays. We will reconvene at the beginning of August. Keep an eye out for a great couple of months in August and September.

This is a group intended to be a confidential, safe place to learn from one another and to support and grow together as women. Come join us! For more information phone Marianne Downing at 908-907-7417 Meeting details and exact location will be sent after registration before the event date.
