Mentor Graphics
"Scott's approach to negotiation skills is unique. This is not a course about how to dicker over price. Rather, his emphasis is on simple, yet powerful, preparation stressing three main points: knowing what you want from the negotiation, understanding your role and staying aware of how you feel. This emphasis on self-awareness, coupled with the sensitivity to perceive your negotiating partner's mode of interaction and the skill to apply a variety of tactics appropriately form the crux of the course. Scott will help you practice these elements during the course. This can be uncomfortable at times, but that is a good thing. At that point, you know you are stretching yourself.
