Overview

A program in which professionals learn to treat resistance as information rather than obstruction: hearing what is behind it, lowering the tension, and finding the ground where conflicting interests can still meet.

What you’ll learn

  • Read resistance as information about an unmet interest
  • Lower the tension in a conversation instead of raising it
  • Keep hold of your own goal while genuinely hearing the other side
  • Find the common ground between conflicting interests
  • Reach agreements that both parties will actually keep
