Workshop: The Art of Negotiation
Friday, March 22 | Session 1: 9 a.m.–noon | Session 2: 1–4 p.m.
Negotiations occur every day in the scientific laboratory and workplace and often involve issues that are key to research success and career advancement. This workshop module teaches the fundamentals of negotiation relevant to a variety of one-on-one conversations and group settings. Topics include the importance of negotiation to advance research and career objectives, identification of negotiables for research and career advancement, elements of a successful negotiation, the importance of developing alternatives to an agreement, techniques for handling difficult people and conversations, the importance of listening and appreciating different viewpoints and identification of short and long-term negotiation goals. The session includes presentations by the facilitator and small group discussions that include role plays.
There are two sessions available, with limited capacity. Each session will cover the same topics and group activities. There is no cost to attend this workshop but registration is required.
Invite your colleagues; all faculty, staff, post docs, and graduate students are welcome!
Important notes: Space is limited. We ask that you please be respectful of the speaker, your colleagues, and our team. Only register for the workshop if you can commit to attending. Absences take the place of other's opportunity to participate. We will maintain a waitlist for each workshop session.
