                                          <div>The concept of
                                            negotiation is something we
                                            use almost every day with
                                            co-workers, bosses, friends,
                                            and family. Learning to
                                            negotiate successfully,
                                            especially where both
                                            parties feel the result is a
                                            win-win solution, is an
                                            essential skill. The ability
                                            to negotiate complex or
                                            high-stakes issues often
                                            requires a high degree of
                                            emotional intelligence,
                                            self-awareness, and
                                            preparation in order to
                                            achieve satisfactory
                                            results. The presenters will
                                            share lessons learned from
                                            their manifold negotiation
                                            experiences over the years,
                                            with an emphasis on the key
                                            emotional intelligence
                                            skills everyone should focus
                                            on mastering, as well as
                                            tips on becoming successful
                                            negotiators. The lessons
