We have met the enemy, and they are us.
Don't let your negotiation biases become your biggest enemy and cause you to make unnecessary compromises or concessions.
Check Your Negotiator Bias!
Actually, check ALL your biases.
Biases. We all have them. They all... well actually some might keep you safe. Most of them stink.
A critical habit for a great negotiator is to recognize and minimize the influence of biased thinking and feeling when crafting an agreement.
Come play with us! Join the Yin and the Yang, the Stepbrothers of Doom, Allan Tsang, and Dan Oblinger as we explore the dangers of bias and a system to prevent them from sinking your negotiation.
We'll talk about the worst bias of all. And a bunch of super common biases that you will see in a tense, complex negotiation.
Be ready for some challenging simulations and several roleplays so we can inoculate ourselves against the powerful impulse of biased thoughts and terrible heuristics!
Who should come?:
Anyone who wants to learn how to negotiate better. Professionals, Entrepreneurs, Executives.
This is not for Negotiation Experts, Gurus, or Masters that have achieved the highest pinnacle of the craft.
Attendees will receive access to our limited distribution white paper: "Negotiators and Bias Control"
