This course is designed to meet the basic of communication and negotiation standards for security contractors (PSC)

This course will help you be a better communicator and negotiator. Unlike many negotiation courses, we develop a framework for analysing and shaping negotiations. This framework will allow you to make principled arguments that persuade others. It will allow you to see beneath the surface of apparent conflicts to uncover the underlying interests. You will leave the course better able to predict, interpret, and shape the behaviour of those you face in competitive situations.
