Jamie Belinne has taught The Art of Negotiation to Executive MBAs for nearly a decade and has worked with corporations on negotiations even longer. Her background both as an HR Manager in a large organization as well as a counselor and coach mediating interpersonal issues has given her a unique approach to negotiation, that balances the content of the negotiation with the importance of the relationships involved.
Building on Difference
In this fun, interactive, 4-5 hour training, Jamie Belinne helps participants recognize, embrace, enjoy and leverage how they are different from others.
MBTI, Birkman or Strengths can be used as a starting point with high energy exercises to recognize, embrace and enjoy different workstyles. However, assessments are not necessary. Participants will be able to understand their own workstyles and articulate what they need from others to be successful. They will also be able to recognize and appreciate the workstyles of their co-workers, and have tools to leverage the value these differences bring.
Building on these revelations, participants are then guided through an interactive Constructive Conversations program to put their new knowledge into action with the skills and tools to resolve conflict positively and effectively using constrictive dialogue.
