902 CANCELED: Negotiate & Lead in the Age of Collaboration: Intercultural Skills Training
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM ET
Wednesday, November 9
Tracks: Leadership
In our increasingly interconnected world, the negotiating game is changing. Research indicates the need for a new, strategic approach to negotiation skills training that includes linguistic and cultural strategies for global professionals—including those in L&D programs. Traditional negotiation training methods have yet to fully address the linguistic and cultural components necessary to negotiate with international professionals from varied language and cultural backgrounds. The larger picture is that as our world moves increasingly toward a global community, mutual understanding is important not just for productive outcomes related to business, but for relationship-building in the adult-learning space.
In this session you will learn how to build more effective negotiations cross-culturally. You’ll gain practical and impactful linguistics strategies to engage as a global leader, and you’ll discover intercultural framing techniques to impress upon the C-suite, your boss, your colleagues, and international teams, especially when communicating in virtual and in-person cooperative decision-making situations. We will start with key strategies for a “win-win” negotiation framework that turns competitors into partners and bridges a deeper understanding between both high-context and low-context cultures. Then, you will acquire specific linguistic strategies and the “Six Intercultural Negotiation Stages” that will allow you to be a catalyst for both motivating stakeholders and creating new opportunities. Finally, you’ll apply these skills to a large group “global mindset” negotiation simulation, building on a collaborative international negotiation approach for enhancing your interpersonal skills in cross-cultural communication with methods that have proven effective from business trainings the presenters have delivered at New York University and at international entities such as the United Nations.
In this session, you will learn:
- How to successfully navigate cultural conventions in both in-person and virtual business settings
- Actionable techniques, cultural strategies, and win-win persuasive appeals to use when conducting international negotiations
- How to apply negotiation methods through target exercises and a virtual negotiation simulation
- How to tailor negotiations to diverse audiences across corporate, private, non-profit, and governmental sectors
