Description:
What in the world do negotiation and mindfulness have in common? Quite a lot actually.
If negotiation is a dialogue in which two (or more) people seek to find a solution to a problem…
And mindfulness is the practice of maintaining a non-judgmental state of complete awareness…
Then Mindful Negotiation is: The practice of conferring with others to derive some mutual benefit while staying present, focused, and proceeding without judgment.
This positive approach helps us to move away from the competitive, combative and otherwise stressful ways in which negotiation is often characterized. And THIS is important because when you approach a negotiation from a place of focus, positivity and non-judgmental awareness, you tend to have a better experience in the negotiation itself – along with better outcomes. This program will explore the positive impact of mindfulness in our negotiation lives: How mindfulness and negotiation intersect; and Strategies for incorporating lessons from mindfulness at the negotiation table, including active listening, cultivating calm, and releasing judgments you may harbor about your counter-party, your own abilities, or the negotiation process itself.
