EU Negotiations

The EU’s unique negotiation machinery balances collective interests, national priorities and the objective of reaching agreements everyone must ultimately live with; good negotiators make this happen.

EU Council Presidencies

Member states’ rotating 6-month Council Presidencies are windows of opportunity and key to moving EU legislative files forward in conjunction with EU institutional partners: working party chairs do a huge amount of the work.

Humanitarian Negotiation

Humanitarian negotiators are agile and innovative in facing negotiation and conflict-management challenges in structured and/or ad hoc environments with multilevel and proxied government and NSAG counterparts, rarely benefiting from great leverage and enough time.

Mediation & Conflict Management

Mediation and conflict management require third – party practitioners possessing very strong negotiation skills as they operate in adversarial environments.

Communication & Public Speaking

The ability to communicate effectively is a core requirement of professional manager – negotiator – leaders.

Meeting Skills and Joint Decision-Making

On average, staff attend 62 meetings every month (during COVID even more!): developing the ability to perform efficiently and effectively in internal and external meeting environments, making a difference and influencing meeting processes and outcomes is vital.

Report Writing

Meetings, face-to-face or virtually facilitated, consume enormous time and human resources. Capturing what one has learned and presenting this to higher authority or for institutional memory in a focused, accurate and timely manner is a fundamental skill.

Business diplomacy

Corporate negotiators can learn from diplomatic negotiation practice when managing change in rapidly disrupted environments when motivating qualified but disoriented staff to become more innovative and pro-active when pure authority is insufficient.
