Course Overview
Managing a crisis negotiation successfully is all about being aware of your emotions and how they influence your actions. A successful negotiator will be able to control their emotions, address concerns while staying calm, keep open communication channels available and make a cool head prevail. Negotiations between two parties who are not able to communicate well can pose a serious challenge for a negotiator. When both parties feel trapped and under pressure, the negotiation is more likely to lead to tension and aggression.
Why is negotiating during a crisis challenging? When you’re dealing with a crisis – or any situation that’s clear from your perspective, and someone else sees it differently – it can be easy to get stuck in a cycle of blame and anger. The intensity of emotion can distort thinking and make things worse–even though you’re already feeling overwhelmed. The demands of negotiating in a crisis can sometimes seem unbearable. But it’s important to know that you are not alone. The dynamics of negotiation have a natural rhythm, and you will find that by listening and empathizing with your counterpart, you come together with them at the crossroads where mutually agreed-upon goals can be achieved.
How can you improve your Crisis Negotiation Skills? In this Crisis Negotiation Training by Zoe, you’ll gain a detailed understanding of the key qualities to look for in negotiating parties and learn about the specific issues related to managing time pressure during a crisis negotiation. You’ll also learn how to recognize types of negotiation breakdowns, as well as different types of techniques that can help you overcome these obstacles as a negotiator. In a crisis negotiation, you will have to manage pressure and various parties who may feel differently about what needs to be done to resolve the situation. Time is of the essence, and emotions are running high. This skill-building programme will teach you how to stay focused, manage exhaustion and stress, and negotiate effectively in this type of situation.
