Upcoming Public Negotiation Skills Workshop

The next Public Negotiation skills workshop will be held May 8th and May 15th, 2025 online from 12PM to 4PM ET.

Negotiation and Conflict Management

You negotiate every day at work, at home, and elsewhere. Some negotiations are for money, many are not. Some are formal, with customers or vendors, and most are informal with coworkers and other partners. I’ve been teaching negotiation skills for over two decades, helping organizations and people gain skills and become more competent negotiators.

Some of the topics I cover include:

  • Competitive and collaborative negotiations skills and strategies
  • Emotions and negotiating styles
  • Communication and difficult conversations
  • Preparation and stakeholder management
  • Team and multi-party negotiations
  • Agency, power, and coalitions
  • Influencing skills
  • Conflict management and mediation skills

Leadership and Change Management

Leadership is needed at every level in an organization, and can impact your ability to accomplish greater goals. I’ve worked with companies, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, government agencies, and individuals to develop their leadership qualifications and improve their skills.

Some of the topics I cover include:

  • Values, vision, and mission
  • Self-confidence and emotional intelligence
  • Empowerment and engagement
  • Teamwork, collaboration and facilitation
  • Change management
  • Leading across cultures
  • Coaching and developing others

Interactive Experiential Learning

People learn skills experientially. In my workshops, participants engage in activities, we discuss what happened, I bring in ideas from the theory, and then we apply the lessons to their real-world situations. My goal is to provide all participants with practical skills and ideas that will help them be more effective immediately after the session.

What People are Saying…

(a few of my LinkedIn recommendations)

“Moshe is an exceptional trainer and negotiator. He was one of the best professors I had while in the MBA program and his course was one that proved useful from day one. He’s wonderful to work with and really knows how to get to the core of a situation. He’s great at facilitating and enabling others to be better negotiators. I highly recommend Moshe, both as a negotiator and as a trainer.” November 3, 2008
“Moshe delivers by far the best negotaition training course I have ever attended. His extensive experience as a mediator provides him with examples and anecdotes that bring relevance to his course content and encourage his students to view negotiation in ways they may not have previously considered. This is one of those rare corporate courses that stay with you long after it is finished. His engaging approach and creative activities for classroom participation set him apart. I can’t recommend him and his courses highly enough.” May 3, 2010
“Mr. Cohen is an exceptional negotiator and trainer. He is highly effective at educating his clients regarding complex business negotiations as well as more simple personal matters. I would recommend his services to top executives at any company with whom I have worked.” August 7, 2008
“Moshe is one of those rare professionals with the ability to combine practical and academic training, together with a pleasant personality, to effectively impart hands-on lessons on conflict resolution and negotiation. Moshe was my career adviser on and off the class and helped me navigate interviews and salary negotiations. Aside from his professional demeanor as a professor, I must say that Moshe’s strongest trait is his personality and his ability to put people at ease. As a person who has undergone numerous mediation trainings in the past, I believe this feature is what distinguishes Moshe from his colleagues and makes him an effective mediator and trainer, as well as a great person to be around.” August 6, 2008
“Moshe can help teach your staff and get to “yes” and create win-win situations. There is an incredible amount of thought and consideration put into the seminars he customizes for any group.” October 10, 2006
