Negotiation Skills

Developing Alternative Skills That Enable Constructive Outcomes

What Is Negotiation?

Once upon a time, there was a bear who was hungry and a man who was cold, so they decided to negotiate in a neutral cave.

After several hours, settlement was reached.

When they emerged, the man had a fur coat and the bear was no longer hungry!
