Negotiators know the high-stakes situations that shape organizations and define careers—mergers and acquisitions, hostage situations, ransomware, internal and external crises. Yet, even the best negotiators may not have the knowledge and tools they need to successfully deal with these complex and difficult situations.
The Negotiation Master Class, a new certificate program from Kellogg Executive Education, will take your negotiation skills from pro to master.
Learn how to navigate the most challenging negotiations through a highly interactive program where you’ll learn some of the best evidence-based practices and have the chance to apply your skills through simulations and role play. You’ll have the opportunity to assess your strengths and weaknesses, sharpen your skills and receive real-time feedback to improve your ability to negotiate in any situation.
Taught by Professor Leigh Thompson, author of Negotiating the Sweet Spot, and management professors specializing in negotiation and law, plus outside experts, including a former FBI agent, our expert instructors will walk you through some of the most difficult negotiation settings, including mergers and acquisitions and crisis negotiations. You’ll leave this experiential program with a playbook and the skills necessary to deal with the most demanding negotiations. Plus, you’ll earn a certificate that boosts your professional credibility—the next best thing to having a degree in negotiations.
Incentives available for groups and teams of four or more attending open enrollment programs. Learn more
