Imagine a skilled negotiator. Stereotypes tell us they’re unwaveringly confident, often loud, quick-witted, and even aggressive. But what if the best negotiators are often actually…introverts? Perceived as a realm dominated by extroverts, introverts can bring unique strengths and abilities to the negotiation table. Introspection, empathy, and capacity for deep focus - hallmarks of the introverted personality - can be harnessed to achieve outstanding negotiation outcomes. And negotiation skills aren’t just reserved for securing business deals and determining salaries - they’re vital communication skills that impact nearly every aspect of our lives. This workshop introduces key strategies tailored for introverts, including preparation techniques, crafting intentional questions, and the power of pause, to help you understand how perceived weaknesses can transform into powerful assets. Introverts will leave recognizing their potential as negotiators and with a toolkit designed to unlock their hidden superpower, paving the way for more successful professional and personal communications.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the ways both formal and informal negotiations appear in your everyday communications.
Describe typical introverted versus extroverted qualities and learn what strengths both personality types bring into interpersonal communications.
Develop practical tools to enable more effective personal and professional communication through an understanding and appreciation of your unique personality attributes.
