My Career Transitions Announces its April 2018 Speaker

On Saturday, April 14, 2018, My Career Transitions presents “Negotiating Skills to Raise Your Voice and Value.” By attending this event, you will learn, the reasons behind why negotiating can be so challenging. How to identify the right timing for negotiation. How to successfully prepare for a negotiation conversation. Effective negotiation skills and techniques to create a better negotiation experience for both parties. The following topics will also be discussed.

Confidence is Key. Knowing what to say and how to say it are key elements in having an effective negotiation conversation but if you don’t believe in what you’re saying, your delivery may fall flat.

Walking in cold into a negotiating conversation is not setting you up for success. Do you know how to effectively prepare for this type of conversation so you’re not caught in an off-guard moment? Proper preparation for these types of discussions will increase your confidence and your chances for holding a successful negotiation talk.

What’s your EQ? Self-awareness and self-assessment are two key emotional intelligence skill sets that are essential when preparing a negotiation conversation. Understanding how to check in before and during a discussion can make or break your chances of success.
