Training Framework 1:
Negotiating Everything You Negotiate Now, Only Better

This framework is offered as a way to think about factors that control much of what happens in "everyday" negotiation, but that are often obscure to the naked eye, such as

  • The "frame," or overall view, your counterpart (or you) may have adopted unthinkingly;

  • Why sometimes it's best not to negotiate (and why parties routinely misunderstand this, at immense cost);

  • How different ideas of "fairness" are necessary to, but frequently undermine negotiation;

  • How some common metaphors can trip you up (metaphors being central among the tools we think with, we tend to use or misuse them without noticing);

  • How to begin managing a conflict when not everyone involved is ready to admit that a conflict even exists. (Training can be designed to serve as a safe and practical way to help with this.)
