EVENT AGENDA
Our 2020 program includes three days of building connections, interactive workshops, and role-play, learning the strategies and soft skills needed to negotiate like a pro from expert negotiator Chris Voss.
THE PROGRAM: NEGOTIATING AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT
Negotiating is difficult and can be uncomfortable and intimidating for many of us. It’s the reason we hired Chris Voss, former FBI hostage negotiator and author of Never Split the Difference to facilitate our 2020 Executive Leadership Retreat. He will use his experience to teach us strategies on the soft skills needed to negotiate like a pro.
