Negotiating with Difficult People: Making It Hard to Say No

This course has pre-requisites, please confirm that you have taken the required courses before registering for this class. Students who register without meeting these requirements will be withdrawn from the course. This course is designed to help you understand your own reactions to difficult situations and develop skills to effectively overcome the obstacles to reaching successful agreements. At one time or another, everyone has had to negotiate with aggressive, critical or argumentative people. Decision-making and implementation are often derailed by entrenched, negatively focused, reactive responses to change and diversity. Trying to resolve issues with people whose behaviour we find challenging often brings us to the limits of our patience and interpersonal skills. (Formerly CCR207;CR362)
