Episode 88: How Strong Negotiation Skills Build Strong Business Relationships
Negotiation is a skill that so many leaders don’t practice before they need them. While negotiation might bring to mind some imagery of a power struggle, it can actually be an excellent tool for building your business relationships.
In this episode, Richard Coughlan is giving us a short masterclass on the skills we need to become better negotiators, and how practicing these skills can improve our relationships at work and at home. By the end of this episode, you’ll have three action and mindset items to work on to start improving your negotiation skills today.
Richard Coughlan is an educator, speaker, and consultant on the best practices of negotiation for business leaders. He is a professor and faculty director at the University of Richmond, and he is also a frequent facilitator of negotiation workshops for business leaders.
