The Art Of Negotiation - Applied Debate Workshop
On the face of it, a negotiation is more about balancing competing interests than it is about persuading others that you're right, but the horse-trading can't begin until the other side is convinced your position is credible and reasonable - and that's where your powers of persuasion will make all the difference.

You will also learn by doing through a simulated negotiation in which you will have to work with others to secure collective agreement while achieving your own unique objective.
Tony is the former Director and founder of the UK's first professional debate training programme and membership organisation, the Great Debaters Club. He has delivered over 500 hours of training across 4 continents for government bodies, multinational companies, inns of court, and international charities on how to apply the principles of adversarial debating to conflict resolution and strategic decision-making.
