Negotiation is a vital skill for any leader, but it can be difficult to practice in real-life situations, where you’re unlikely to receive feedback or get opportunities to experiment with new tactics.
Mastering Negotiations is your chance to level-up from an experienced negotiator into an advanced one. Utilizing a “workshop-style” format, it offers you the opportunity to actually practice new negotiation styles, experience new scenarios and learn from the diverse perspectives of your classmates.
The course will:
- Help you identify the right negotiating tactics for different scenarios
- Teach you how to both claim value and add value during negotiations
- Develop your skills handling complex or challenging negotiations
- Allow you to practice new tactics and learn by doing

It's an amazing course where you can learn by doing, so don't be shy—take the challenge and join the ESMT Community!
I chose this program because the topic of negotiation is always a controversial one, and I was intrigued by the idea of learning techniques that could be applied to work life and beyond. The highlights included learning ethical negotiations, considering not only techniques but also how to manage feelings, and how to achieve a great deal for all parties involved.
I recommend this program to project managers, managers, and individuals in direct client interactions.
ESMT means learning differently: from others, from experience, interactively in group exercises.
Mastering Negotiations met all my expectations, with a professional preparation by the ESMT team and a group of qualified participants.
