Negotiation Course
Master principled negotiation skills from Getting to Yes to achieve win-win outcomes in work and life.
About This Course
Welcome to Principled Negotiation: Strategies for Mutual Gains, a practical course inspired by the groundbreaking book Getting to Yes by Roger Fisher and William Ury. This course is designed for professionals, students, managers, and anyone seeking to improve their negotiation skills both in professional and personal contexts.
Over several modules, you will explore the core principles of principled negotiation, including how to separate people from the problem, focus on interests rather than positions, generate options for mutual gain, and insist on using objective criteria. Through engaging readings, video lectures, and interactive exercises, you’ll develop strategies to handle difficult negotiations, manage emotions, and transform conflicts into collaborative solutions.
This is paragraph 2 of the long course description. You will learn to prepare systematically for negotiations, recognize and counter manipulative tactics, and communicate effectively to build trust and reach sustainable agreements. Case studies and real-world examples will illustrate how these principles work in diverse contexts, from business deals to diplomatic relations and everyday disputes.
By the end of the course, you will have practical tools to negotiate with confidence, reduce conflicts, and create outcomes where all parties feel valued and respected.
Requirements
This course does not require prior knowledge of negotiation theory, but an interest in improving communication and conflict resolution skills will help you get the most out of the material. Fluency in reading and writing English is recommended for engaging with course readings and discussions.
