People When do negotiations get difficult? Topic Setting
Some think… • We can be emotional • We worry too much (what others will think) • We say too much (or disclose too much) • We change our mind (slow to decide) • We do not “stand up” for ourselves • We don’t offer an opinion (or we apologize for it) • We do not ask for things we need
Is this true? Competitive/Protective Transacts with others Facts > Feelings Cooperative/Emotional Listens to others Feelings > Facts
We can… • Use our emotions as our strength • Understand that it’s not personal and find support • Stop and think about facts (or prepare with them) • Wait until last to speak or take a ‘break’ to think • Say it with confidence • Make and maintain a ‘personal vision’
Final thoughts. • There will always be difficult negotiations/conversations. • Our view is needed and not yet ‘the norm’ • Practice makes us better • A trusted, support/challenge group helps • Failure is not personal, it’s business.

TECHNIQUES FOR NEGOTIATIONS WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE Global Summit of Women, Athens 2012 By Sara Bieger, Managing Partner Spain Leaders Trust International – AltoPartners Group Consultants in Executive Search
A combination of both SUPPORT & ATTACK • Fight with energy the essential matters (increase the pressure to obtain an efficient solution) • Provide the other person with the necessary SUPPORT (as to improve your relationship) Is a HELPFUL CONTRADICTION A PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORY states that human beings are displeased by the lack of logics and react against it.
Negotiator: always has 2 kinds of interests • The essence & the relationship Both are usually mixed up, because after all, negotiators are always PERSONS.
BASIC CATEGORIES I. PERCEPTION MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EMPATHY “PUT YOURSELVE IN SOMEONE ELSE´S SHOES” III. COMMUNICATION THE BASICS: 2 WAY COMMUNICATION IV. PREVENTION BUILD a PERSONAL AND SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIP II. EMOTION IDENTIFICATION ALL EMOTIONS
Difficulties to interact with them • What happens when the other side is more powerful? The main obstacle is: Trying to change them!
Don't loose your mind! • Don't try to change THEM • Re-shape and change what YOU DO • Change your behaviour towards THEM
ALWAYS REMEMBER: 1. DISSOCIATE your thoughts TO UNDERSTAND 2. ASSOCIATE your thoughts TO ACT 3. KEEP ON TRYING!! • How do I feel? • Which kind of behaviour upsets you? • Which is your behaviour in reply? • Which kind of behaviour would you desire from the • other side? • What would I change in my behaviour to obtain it? • Tricks • Identify them • Make them obvious • Don´t be aggressive • Negotiate according to the rules • Keep yourself calmed • Establish your limits without aggressive attitudes • Speak from yourself • Modify the kind of relationship you have with yourself
THERE IS A POWER ALWAYS AVAILABLE: THE POWER OF ATTITUDE THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Now, take note of the differences… National Cultures Generations Gender Race Socio-economic power Positional power Etc….
