Presentation Title: Negotiating with Difficult People

PDU Category: Leadership

Presentation Abstract:

Why are some people difficult? It could be anger, fear or they just do not know any better. What you do know is that they are blocking your ability to move forward with just about any issue that requires a negotiation. YOU are not going to let that continue. In negotiations difficult people put up barriers. After our time together you will know recognize these five barriers and walk away with one or two strategies for navigating one or two of them.

1. Your reaction – The first barrier on the list is Y-O-U. When someone does not cooperate with you, you have an emotional response.
2. Their emotions – Of course BOTH parties have a role in this play. Perhaps the other party is coming from a place of fear or mistrust. To them it just could be a ‘dog-eat-dog’ world and they are going to be top dog.
3. Their position – It does not occur to the other party that you can work together and find a solution. Their entire negotiation toolkit consists of them taking a hard stance and refusing to give in.
4. Their dissatisfaction – They do not see the benefit in coming up with a solution that is beneficial to all parties.
5. Their power – If the other party perceives the negotiation as win-lose and they are coming from a place of power, they are going to do everything they can to win.
