Unlock the Doors to Win Win Negotiation

Using Information, Power and Time to Get What You Want 

  • Are you too embarrassed or reluctant to negotiate?
  • What signals are you sending or interpreting that don’t serve you?
  • Are you compromising what you want in order to please people you don’t even know?
  • Do the benefits of getting what you want outweigh the discomfort you feel?
  • Are your agreements short lived or lasting?

Salaried for the past 30 years to prevent and settle contractual disputes, diffuse tension, clarify benefits, get agreement, reduce costs and establish mutual outcomes of satisfaction, retired Air Force Contracting Officer Eldonna Lewis-Fernandez teaches the psychology of negotiations and has the fundamental belief that everything is negotiable.  Having negotiated the purchases of multi-million dollar aircraft parts and maintenance to the cooperative process of individuals working on teams, she has the experience to help you achieve success at the individual, team and systematic levels. 

The agreements you negotiate will dictate what you give in exchange for getting and what you get in exchange for giving.  Are you prepared with the skills to know how to ask for what you want, when to close an important sale, what terms are in your best interests and/or whether future relationships (organizational or personal) are adversarial or cooperative? 

In this presentation, Eldonna will help you be in a better position to improve your worth to yourself or to an organization as you learn:  

  • To take charge, accept responsibility & move forward with competency
  • To overcome negotiation reluctance
  • A new perspective on knowledge, information and power
  • The importance of gaining favor from those who have goods or services you want
  • How to establish your conditions & know what to ask for
  • The value of timing
  • How to trade one of your conditions for a concession
  • How to prevent your negotiations from ending in a stalemate
  • How to unveil hidden meanings in conversations & analyze non-verbal behavior
  • Keys to building rapport & relationships
  • The value of written agreements
  • To assert yourself by asking power questions that will affect the outcome
  • New insight about rejection & not taking anything personally
  • How to reality-test your negotiation skills
  • A new commitment towards increased productivity, a more resilient you and your abilities toward self-leadership

The Power of PINK

Aligning Power, Integrity, Negotiation & Knowledge

 

  • Would a description of yourself include “adventurous?”
  • Do you feel underappreciated, weighed down or drained?
  • Do you know what freedom truly means?
  • Are you aware of the images you have about yourself when you speak to others?
  • Do you spend more time thinking of what you don’t want rather than what you want?
  • Does negative self-talk overrun productive thoughts?
    • 

Freedom of choice means different things to different people.  When your choices affect others, how you respond is determined by your commitments, your character, your ability to influence others and the use of available resources and information.
