The program has a very good theoretical foundation but with more emphasis on practical application. As a full-time lawyer with multiple commitments, I appreciated how digestible, yet very substantial, the modules were. And they were fun to do! Aside from the program’s practical and professional value, it was a journey of self-discovery where I recognized and acknowledged certain personality traits, and even biases, that form part of my negotiation style and tactic. I have recalibrated and enhanced my negotiation skills and, I have heightened my understanding of other people, especially in negotiation settings.
