Effective Stakeholder Engagement Training

This highly interactive three-day workshop is designed to develop strategies to communicate and negotiate effectively with a focus on engaging effectively with stakeholders. It will investigate the various stakeholder engagement strategies and how to effectively use them in the workplace through the different negotiation styles and will show how conflicts can be effectively managed by negotiating with stakeholders. This course consists of theory, practical exercises and a video-recording of the practical exercises that will be emailed to the participant for review and reference. As a consequence, a much smaller class of maximum 10 people will allow all students to be recorded for their practical exercise.
