To be an effective project manager, excellent communication skills are mandatory. Project managers are regularly involved in various forms of negotiation; therefore, they must understand the principles of successful negotiations. This webinar aims to help project managers identify stakeholders' information needs and implement methods to ensure they receive that information. The session will also provide participants with knowledge of successful negotiation tips and tactics, emphasizing when, how, and why these techniques apply to project management.

In this interactive session, participants are encouraged to reflect on the challenges and importance of communication and negotiation in their work. Through examples and discussion, the participants will see how to improve their interaction and communication style and become more informed on the foundational concepts of successful negotiations.

Learning Objectives

• Strategies for dealing with a wide variety of personal communication styles
• Barriers to effective technical communications, as well as how to communicate more effectively using data and charts
• How to improve the chance of successful "win-win" negotiation by understanding, applying, and formulating the importance of communication skills in negotiations
• Be prepared for the other side's negotiation strategies and reach agreements that can be kept and preserve the working relationship
• Understand the best alternatives to negotiated agreements and know when to "walk away" from a negotiation

Join us to learn tips to improve your communication and negotiation skills!
