Course Overview
Discussions are an integral part of daily business life, be it to gain additional budget or time for a project or to arrange an employee's vacation during the holiday season.
But you are quickly confronted with the pressure to live up to other people's expectations, or arguments that you simply don't know what to say about. In such moments, there is a great risk that communication will pass each other by and the connection to the other person and yourself will be lost.
