What is the event about?
If you want to succeed you need to negotiate well. Effective negotiations are crucial to unlocking value and forging strong relationships with customers, suppliers, and co-workers.
In this stimulating talk, Gordon Hall will discuss negotiation styles, factors that determine the type of negotiation; and the importance of adapting your behaviour to take control of the negotiation process.
Who should attend and why?
- Business Owners, MDs, and C-suite leaders of mid-market organisations within 20 miles of Watford. If your business could benefit from an inspiring session on negotiation and leadership and an understanding of the benefits it could deliver, then sign up to attend
- We believe that all business leaders today are doing their best in an ever-changing world of technology, and keeping up with the latest leadership techniques can be a powerful way to differentiate and achieve business success
- It’s free to attend and the focus is very much on delivering value for delegates, not to hassle guests with multiple ‘advisors’
- This informal event is brought to you by a partnership of local business partners BUT in a strict ‘no-sales’ environment
