Overview

We all have to Negotiate on a daily basis in both our professional & personal lives, as the things we want to acquire, or achieve are commonly owned, controlled, or influenced by someone else. We need to reach mutually beneficial agreements with these individuals in order to achieve our goals. This is the purpose of Negotiation, applied either inside or outside the workplace.
