About the Program
First Impressions Do Matter
You have the idea, you have the concept, you have the passion, but people are not taking your business idea seriously. They dismiss you, thinking you will never pull it off. Guess what? You are probably suffering from a common case of "credibiilitis acerbus." Indeed, credibility comes from confidence. Confidence in yourself is presented through nonverbal cues that must line up properly to make people believe in you. In this half of the workshop, the entrepreneur in you will learn how to engage and influence people without having to rely on your vocal cords. Together we will visit the concepts of business attire, meet and greet with class, proper electronic etiquette, phone manners, and thank you notes. Never again will you leave your destiny in the hands of chance...
The Art of Negotiation
Once you inspire trust in others, it is time to own your ground and commit to your self-worth. In this workshop, you will learn the techniques that will allow you to enjoy negotiating and remove anxiety from the process. Together we will learn how to prepare for a negotiation, assess the level of interest of the other side, make calculated concessions, and walk away from the negotiation table with grace and dignity when necessary. This class will transform the way you look at negotiation and put you in the driver's seat. Life is made of negotiations both big and small, so please join us to transform yourself into the savvy negotiator you always wanted to be!
