Identifying the subtle cues related to body language was very valuable. The practice sessions with one-to-one negotiation with video recording really made me more conscious of the unspoken signals that I'm giving out during any internal or external discussion or negotiation

Excellent training, learned a lot and definitely will help me improve my performance as a business manager at work

Apt industry examples were provided to support the clarifications to my questions that really emphasized on what actually works today instead of ideal/bookish principles - Continuous attention and live correction not just during the case briefing but also when the live negotiations were in progress

(The facilitator) was not only knowledgeable about the subject matter but he is also highly in tune with our industry, our company, and our retailers.

(The facilitator) was able to build trust by setting expectations at the start and staying true to them as the training progressed. He was encouraging when needed and provided critical but helpful feedback in other scenarios. This allowed everyone to buy-in and participate even when the training pushed them out of their comfort zone.
