Trainer: Terry McClendon, Chief trainer, nlp•australia – Contract Negotiating

INTRODUCTION

Negotiating is part of everyday life.

These contracts range from informal agreements between colleagues and friends to formal and binding contracts worth many millions of dollars.

Effective contract negotiation is a crucial part of any business. Contracts can be negotiated in relation to employment, suppliers, leases, licenses, franchises, sales, license, real estate or partnerships, among other circumstances.

When negotiating, both parties are there to make a deal that benefits them. You need sufficient knowledge and skills to get what you want.

"Our Master Practitioner Training Will take you to the next level. It Emphasizes the development of your flexibility and creativity in using NLP. "

"As a swimming coach and program manager, i was looking for ways to increase my awareness of communication and interactions with people. Enrolling with NLP Australia, i was unsure what to expect with regards to how the content would be rolled out. Having Layla as my tutor twice a week via Skype was the best for my learning, as the direct teaching method worked for me. Layla paced the content very well, giving plenty of room to ask questions and go over things as needed. My perspective shifted over the course and i noticed my observations in real world situations were gaining depth. To gain traction in furthering your understanding of communication and to gain some insight into yourself, i would recommend this course. Coaches, teachers, managers, parents, etc. could all stand to benefit from becoming involved with the world of NLP."
