Courageous Conversations around negotiation styles

Courageous Conversations around negotiation styles 1

Have you ever felt like you’re in a ‘no-win’ situation?

For me, it was the day that I interviewed for a job that I didn’t *really* want? but that I *did* need.

I’d hated my job for two years and was finally at the end of my tether.

I’d decided that I needed to move and that it needed to be NOW.

So here I was, interviewing for a job that I was over-qualified for – and that they wanted to pay me peanuts to do.

It felt like a no win situation.

I was frustrated.

But I interviewed well and they offered me the position.

I sat back and breathed for a second.

And then opened my mouth to have a bold conversation?

Negotiation is going to come up at various points of your career; whether it’s on getting that promotion, negotiating on salary expectations or even negotiating your workload.

That’s why on this episode of Leading the Coaching Change, I’m sharing:

* How to identify your negotiation style

*The importance of perception

*The 5 specific skills to help you become a top negotiator

So that you can develop your negotiation style and feel totally confident in your role.

My favourite quotes from this episode;

  • Would you be open to discussing?
  • Negotiating is not manipulating people into what you want
  • When you have empathy, you enjoy stronger collaboration, less stress, greater morale and you bounce back more quickly from difficult moments

In the end I managed to negotiate a salary rise in the job (based on early performance) and ended up being completely happy with my role. There’s ALWAYS a win. You just have to negotiate sometimes to get there!
