UC Berkeley's: Negotiations and Influence

The Art of Working With People To Get Things Done

The UC Berkeley Center for Executive Education Negotiations and Influence training course will provide you the skills you need to develop the network of high-productivity relationships critical to success in your job. You will learn negotiation strategies for getting results with difficult people, with cooperative people, with your partners and colleagues, and with customers and suppliers.

The UC Berkeley Negotiations and Influence program is an intensive, active, content-rich program. You will learn key negotiation and influence skills and then put them into practice through seven engaging in-class negotiation exercises. You will receive feedback on your negotiated outcomes in debrief sessions -- enabling you to improve your skills throughout the program.

The course is led by Holly Schroth, a well-known negotiations expert, Haas lecturer, and consultant to numerous companies in Silicon Valley and worldwide. Holly has won several teaching awards including a BusinessWeekOnline award ranking her THE BEST undergraduate professor across disciplines, across the US. She also recently won the 2009 Earl F. Cheit award for excellence in teaching.  Holly is one of the leading authors of negotiation exercise materials which are used across the globe by educators and trainers.  Holly has a Ph.D. in Social Psychology, specializing in Social Cognition and she uses this training to understand how we think about social interaction.

At the end of the Negotiations and Influence program, participants will be awarded a certificate of completion by the UC Berkeley Center for Executive Education and be invited to join our LinkedIn alumni group.
