Why is it that people have such a difficult time successfully negotiating their compensation? The reason we can’t or won’t negotiate is not because we’re incapable of doing this, but rather because we just don’t know how! No one ever taught us how to do it, and we never learned “the rules of the game!” For the purposes of this presentation, we look at negotiation as a game. And as with any game, we can’t win if we don’t know the rules!

Participants can expect to leave this 1 to 1½ hour presentation with the ability to dramatically improve the results of their salary negotiations. This is a very practical, “real world” program that focuses on mastering the rules of the negotiation game – a game that can actually be fun, as well as financially rewarding!
