The Aki-Negotiation Workshop, Resolving Conflict with Peace and Integrity

Aiki–Negotiation is a powerful vision of personal and professional success founded on two philosophies of healthy collaborative relationship. Collaborative Negotiation is recognized around the world as a simple, effective, and universally applicable approach to resolving differences and improving relationships. Aikido is the extraordinary martial art passed on Japanese master Morihei Ueshiba’s realization that the best ways of protecting your interests don’t require that you give in or harm others.

The Aiki–Negotiation Workshop provides individuals and groups with practical and easy to learn techniques for transforming differences with others into rewarding collaborative relationships, no matter what the issues, situations, or the types of people. In this dynamic and practical workshop you will learn how the lessons of Aiki–negotiation can help you and your clients to:

• Increase your power to effectively and ethically resolve differences with others without sacrificing your integrity, values and beliefs.
• Be fully prepared for even the most difficult situations by centering the four aspects of a peak–negotiation state.
• Create healthy collaborative relationships without making yourself vulnerable to abuse and exploitation
