Social Impact Leadership Series: Negotiation Strategies for Everyday Life

Whether at work or at home, knowing how to successfully navigate a negotiation requires effective communication, problem solving, and collaboration with people who oftentimes have varying points of view. Across the globe, personal and political differences can make it more difficult to find common ground at the negotiation table.
