Participant Comments - Associations
"I found that hearing from different trainers with varying styles and negotiating with a number of different participants in the group provided a learning experience on the different styles, positions, generational and cultural factors that can influence a negotiation. Good overview at the beginning, the surprises were excellent and stretched my learning. Instructors were all excellent, most enjoyable and receptive. Excellent translation of skills into practice."
