When Leaders Lose Before Negotiations Begin

"He marched into the room, sat across the table from me, and stared at me coldly, clearly making the point “I’m ready for a fight.” 

"I chuckled at his entry. It's an all too common misconception in negotiation that aggression is an effective tactic. And that in order for one side to win, the other must lose."

"What he didn't know then, but would realize by the end of our first meeting, is that aggression doesn't work and that we could both win. In fact, I wanted him to."

Alex Grzybowski, expert negotiator and trainer
Negotiators commonly use aggressive "win-at-all-cost" tactics.

They think bullying their way to an agreement is the key to being a good negotiator.

For decades it worked -- until now.

People are much more sophisticated and educated today.

And there's no getting around it.

Negotiations are more complex with more stakeholders today.

It takes a different approach to win negotiations.

Fact is, when:
  • the latest communication skills ARE NOT being used
  • confusion over changing positions leads to breakdown in communication
  • high emotions cloud the process for achieving results
...negotiations can go off the rails.

And with good reason.

As human beings, we're complex in our emotions and thoughts.
- So it would be a mistake to rely on intimidation at the negotiating table.
- And a big mistake to think bullying creates long-lasting agreements.
- And even a bigger mistake to underestimate your opponent's abilities --all of which can seriously stall negotiations.

"From negotiating agreements and mediating disputes around the world, I've learned there are 3 key skills that advance dialogue. 
And that's what you'll learn from this training."

"You'll discover the 3-part 'Synchronized Listening' method that my team and I use to resolve conflict -- without using aggressive tactics."

Principle Negotiator and Instructor

Why 'Synchronized Listening' Is Your Secret Weapon...

Just log in and get 3 days of tested real-world negotiating training focused on these 3 core elements.

1. Show, Don't Tell

When people don't trust each other it's a barrier to reaching agreement. 

Most communication is non-verbal. Are you communicating mistrust before you even open your mouth? 

Don’t tell the other side that you’re listening. Show that you are, using body language awareness!

2. Question Strategically

Synchronized listening doesn’t mean shutting up! To become a great listener, you need to know how to ask valuable questions. 

Do you know the difference between an open and closed question? 

And when to use each type? Learn how and why to ask different types of questions, plus other essential communication tactics and skills!

3. Emotional Awareness

Emotions often run high at the negotiation table. 

 You can’t turn your emotions off. But you can learn how to recognize and manage them, not just in negotiations, but in all aspects of your life. 

Using a simple, memorable framework, you will be able to recognize when and what emotions are triggered – in others as well as yourself.

What You Will Get From This Program

Our comprehensive negotiation training fine-tunes real time skills and tactics while expanding your capacity to set processes up for success. We teach you the skills and then provide interactive opportunities for you to practice them, thereby engraining them into your practice as a negotiator.

Day 1

9AM-10:30AM PST

The Context
Negotiation is a choice amongst alternatives. The choice needs to be made explicitly based on an informed assessment. Once you make this choice, the challenge is negotiating the best agreement possible by applying essential skills within processes that are designed for success.

10:30AM-12:00PM And
​12:45PM-3:00PM PST

Negotiating Fundamentals
We begin by ensuring we are working with a common language and understanding regarding the fundamental principles, skills, and processes of modern negotiation, and the best ways for people to deal with their differences. This sets the stage for development of the skills you need to engage effectively in real time while designing and adapting processes that are conducive to success.

Day 2

9AM-11:45AM PST

Effective Communications
Do you know how to listen? Can you manage your internal dialogue while someone says things that you fundamentally disagree with? Can you ask the right question at the right time in order to unlock new possibilities for mutual gain and sustainable agreements? The answer will be yes when we have completed this session and you will take home skills to continue practicing for the rest of your life.

12:30AM-3:00PM PST

Navigating Emotions
How do you manage the emotional content of negotiations? Or are you managed by it? How would you create an emotional environment that your adversaries trust that is also conducive to agreement. In this session you will learn how to use a practical framework for influencing emotions and creating an emotional environment conducive to agreement.

Day 3

9AM-11:45AM PST

Real Time Tactics
When do you push to seal the deal and when do you back off or take a break or move on to another topic or issue? How do you say no and how do you leverage it? How do you respond to no and how do you turn it into yes? These are real time tactics that complement your effective communication skills and your capacity to manage the emotional environment.

1:45-3:00PM PST Continued

Integration and Synthesis
What are the hallmarks of a great negotiator? The characteristics of a strategic response to an emerging conflict? How do you bring real time and process design skills together and make them work for you in real life? This is about setting yourself up to continue to learn from the present and the past and to hone your skills continuously. And finally, to recognize that there are many lessons to be learned across cultures and over the millennia.

12:30PM-1:45PM PST

Designing Effective Processes
Do you know how to listen? Can you manage your internal dialogue while someone says things that you fundamentally disagree with? Can you ask the right question at the right time in order to unlock new possibilities for mutual gain and sustainable agreements? After this session, the answer to all these questions will be “Yes!”

This 3-Day Action-Packed 
Masterclass Will Transform:

your approach to conflict that creates trust and respect resulting in meaningful long-lasting relationships
how you can eliminate negotiating-threatening emotions so that effective resolution is achieved quickly​
how you empower an adversary turning them into a partner to create a stable long-lasting agreement

What our customers are saying

Coming together within a context of conflict and distrust, Pacific Resolutions was key to fostering a productive relationship between provincial government and Carrier-Sekani government technical representatives

Brian Toth

Carrier Sekani First Nations Co-Chair, Environmental Stewardship Initiative

For 25 years Alex was my go-to resource for getting deals done and the opportunity to learn the techniques/skills he employed was immensely valuable in my career. I would strongly recommend any training program that Alex offers.

Steve Carr

Former British Columbia Deputy Minister
and Chief of Staff for the Premier

Strong negotiation skills are key to success for both your business and personal life. After taking Pacific Resolutions interactive negotiation training I realized how much I had grown through their course. Their self-assessment tool enabled me to target and work on areas for improvement which I have since put to use and seen my growth first-hand. I highly recommend their training as time well spent and as an important investment in yourself.

Caribou Conservation

Pacific Resolutions was asked to lead the negotiation with West Moberly & Saulteau First Nations and Canada on behalf of British Columbia in an effort to save the Central Mountain Caribou. Four months later a deal was reached that involved the creation of the largest continuous protected area in the province. The caribou may be able to live on as part of our shared ecosystem as a result of this agreement.
