One day with the workshop facilitator, learning about and role-playing with the Harvard Negotiation Project changed my outlook on negotiations. Despite how important the role of negotiations is in our everyday lives, we so often handle it reactively and with little or no planning. Common Outlook provides structure and discipline, packaged up in a commonsense format. I have used the tools, seen the difference and, as a consequence, have gotten to ‘yes’.

Thank you for being a part of our event and sharing your expertise with us and our members. Your ‘Art of Negotiation’ sessions were first class. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness and preparation you put into your workshops. The way in which you distilled the relevant, key points from such a huge topic was impressive. The feedback we received from the 40 members who participated in your sessions was consistently positive. Many people said that the ‘takeaway’ skills they learned are ones which they can apply to both their professional and personal lives.
