Negotiating to Win, Carmel Buttimer Preview Management Training

A rainy Irish evening saw the brave Network Dublin members and guests negotiate their way through the traffic and weather to the Clarence Hotel.

Carmel Buttimer took us straight into the definition of Negotiation and how the topic of the talk should be “Negotiating to Succeed” as in a successful negotiation there is not a winner or loser. 

Carmel then explained that "If we really want to be successful in our various negotiations, then we must pay as much attention to the other side's needs and wishes as we do in framing our own 'offering'. Successful negotiating skills has now become a core competency, rather than some 'occasional' set of skills we pull out for the 'grand occasion'."

Due to popular demand Carmel offered Network Dublin members an opportunity to attend a One Day Course on Negotiating to Succeed in July.  The course introduced the well renowned Negotiation Model and the skills needed to put it into practice. A must for all women who have to negotiate a multitude of situations and relationships each day.
