THE ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGY IN NEGOTIATIONS

ABOUT THE SESSION

To be successful in a negotiation it is very important that you understand the role psychology plays.  From being able to recognise how your own emotions impact your thought processes and behaviours to also being able to recognise the same in your negotiation partner.

Jeff Heasman is a recognised expert in negotiations and is a graduate of the Yale School of Management Executive Education programme in negotiation strategies.  Using techniques learnt over many years and putting these into the context of insurance and financial services, Jeff will show you how psychology impacts the negotiation from preparation through to either closing a deal or walking away.
