Influencing with Integrity
Featuring Ken Haman
November 10, 1-3 p.m.

Effective people skills make all the difference between success and failure in business. Whether you are a senior executive directing a large division, a manager building a new team, a customer service representative handling a disgruntled client, a sales person intent on closing a big deal, your success depends on how you communicate with people. Influencing with Integrity introduces a new system of thinking about human interactions and the role of influence between people. Based on the groundbreaking 1983 book, "Influencing with Integrity: Management Skills for Communication and Negotiation," by Dr. Genie Laborde, participants will learn several techniques for influencing human behavior for positive results.

Kenneth Harman brings a diverse background in business consultation, training and psychotherapy to this presentation. Clients for whom he has created training materials include Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter, and the Federal Government.

SPECIAL VIDEO TAPE OFFER:

Negotiating with Confidence
Featuring Ed Brodow
Original Satellite telecast September 2, 1999

A successful businessperson without good negotiation skills? It's hard to imagine. This program is designed to give managers and supervisors a series of proven strategies for negotiating their objectives in business situations.

The first part of the program will focus on the key elements of every successful negotiation. The personality traits of successful negotiators will be revealed.

Part two will demonstrate that negotiation works better as collaboration instead of as a contest. Ed Brodow's "Three Rules for Win-Win Negotiating" will show how both parties to a negotiation can have their needs met. It's about getting the other side to give you what you want and thank you for it.

Tailor your training to your own corporation. Work at the pace of your learners, start, stop, and introduce discussions by using the videotape version of this workshop, originally aired in September 1999.

Negotiating with Confidence Videotape $400.
