Learning negotiation techniques to deal with ‘face’ concerns in communication provides a powerful tool to improve relationships in all spheres of life.
If you don’t know how to negotiate properly, you’re wasting so much potential and losing tons of opportunities!
Influencing Upwards. Begin by indicating that you are completely willing to comply with their expressed wishes!
Whatever the arena you work in, influencing others is about having the confidence and willingness to use yourself to make things happen.
Persuasion is an art everyone should master. Your ability to earn is in direct proportion to your ability to persuade!
Influencing is the confidence and willingness to use all your skills to make things happen and get buy-in for your ideas, projects and goals.
Facilitation is the thing that’s needed to get people out of routine, to stop people time-wasting and to get things moving forward.
Good facilitators see and hear not only the obvious but are tuned in to what else might be going on that isn’t quite so apparent.
Teams are stronger than individuals, but you have to put the work in to get the results out.

In today’s busy world, one of the best ways to get more time for those top-priority projects is by delegating some of the lower-priority work to someone else. (If you’re able to eliminate it, that’s even better.)
When dealing with difficult people, stay out of it emotionally and concentrate on listening non-defensively and actively.
In many organisations when radical change is necessary to fight stagnation and apathy, managers deliberately introduce conflict to raise the intensity of a group.
If you can take charge of a situation with the aim of resolution, then conflict is indeed something to be relished and not avoided.
It’s really easy to tell when someone is getting angry at another because they start throwing out “YOU” statements all over the place.
Is there a situation in your workplace that requires an intervention? Don’t know where or how to start?
Conflict is inevitable even in the best of relationships so we have to know how to communicate during the difficulties we experience while in conflict with someone.
It’s about looking for a third thing that connects two opposite parties.
“Christmas comes but once a year, and when it comes it brings good cheer.” Ya, well, for some it brings good cheer; for others, it really can be a miserable old time.
