The Art of Negotiation workshop, held on 14th November 2023, brought together participants eager to enhance their negotiation skills. The event featured distinguished resource persons Dr. Suhail Palakkode, Dean of Academics at DIBS, and Dr. Shamal Sheikh, Assistant Professor at DIBS. Both speakers provided in-depth insights into the strategies and techniques essential for successful negotiations in various professional and personal settings.
Drawing inspiration from John F. Kennedy’s timeless quote, “Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate,” the session explored how to approach negotiations with confidence and clarity. The speakers discussed the importance of preparation, emotional intelligence, and understanding the interests of all parties involved. Participants also learned practical tools to handle complex negotiations, maintain strong relationships, and create win-win solutions.
This interactive workshop not only focused on theory but also encouraged participants to apply these principles through real-world scenarios and role-playing exercises, making it a comprehensive and enriching experience.
