The Art of Persuasion, Negotiation and Conflict

Three people in business attire engaged in a discussion around a desk, with laptops and documents, in a modern office setting with plants and shelves in the background.

Course Overview

The Art of Persuasion, Negotiation, and Conflict involves mastering
communication and relationship techniques to better assert yourself in the
world. At Bonfire, we call this an “art form” because taking everyone’s different
needs, wants, aims, and beliefs into account isn’t exactly a walk in the park. It
takes some practice (and guidance!).

In any workplace there will always be conflicting demands, differences in
opinions, and opposing attitudes when working with clients and internal team
members. While this is totally normal and to be expected, it can also pose a
rather significant obstacle to progressing relationships. Great news, there are
ways to validate each person’s unique experience while also bringing them into
agreement.

By completing this workshop, participants will learn the following:

  • The difference between manipulation and the science of persuasion
  • How to reframe “conflict”. Remember, not all conflict is bad!
  • The mindset of this “art” and how it positively impacts communication
  • How to stay open-minded and adaptable in order to build trust

Learning Outcomes

  • Embody the “Compassionate Curiosity” mindset
  • Enhance persuasion, communication, and relationship skills
  • Upskill the three competencies of great negotiators
  • Understand the “Art” with customized case studies relevant to your organization
  • Recognize conflict stemming from negotiation
  • Understand the “science” of human behavior pertaining to persuasion and negotiation
