A lot of people associate negotiating with haggling with car salesmen, et cetera.  Some people enjoy this.  Others dread it.  Our definition of negotiation, based on Harvard Research, is much broader: “Influencing, through communication, with the aim of serving interests of parties and/ or persons, while aiming for continuity in the relationship”. If you look at it that way, we can conclude that we negotiate every day, in many different situations. This can be with friends, family, colleagues, co-students, team members, the landlord etc. The list is endless. Negotiation, therefore, is a life skill.  

In just one hour you will learn: The criteria for a ‘good deal’. Criteria that help you to objectively evaluate, in any given situation, how ‘good’ your deal really is. The seven principles of Constructive Negotiations of the Harvard approach (which lead to a ‘good deal’)

The session will include tips for one of the more important negotiations you will have to prepare for, in the foreseeable future: Salary Negotiations.

Every person is unique. We as individuals have the ability to choose how we deal with our own behavior and the behavior of others. If you aspire to work in consultancy, you’ll have to learn to work with loads of different personalities, in order to succeed in your projects. These differences can be seen clearly within different types of niches and organizations. Everyone, whether conscious or subconscious, prefers a certain type of behavior. This behavior is also known as a personality style. But how do you ensure that you can recognize your own and others behavior patterns? And how do you respond to it? To help you get more insight into your own qualities, as well as others’, Strict will give a DiSC® training. 

DiSC® is a personal assessment tool used to help improve teamwork, communication, and productivity in the workplace. It stands for the four main personality profiles described in the DiSC model:

• (D)ominance, 
• (i)nfluence
• (S)teadiness
• (C)onscientiousness

The model is based on four different colors, being red, yellow, green, and blue. The colors give an insight in how a person works and communicates best. It raises self-awareness, improves teamwork, and can turn conflict into a positive, productive exercise that helps you move forward.
