When you think of negotiation, what comes to mind? A group of businesspeople in a boardroom hashing out the details of a contract? What about personal experiences you have had purchasing a car or home? Ever had to work through conflict with a friend or family member? Having the skill set to negotiate conflict situations in a healthy and biblically principled manner is what you will study in this course. You will learn how conflict can be healthy and positive when properly approached, develop essential communication and emotional intelligence skills, and focus on approaches to effectively negotiate various conflict situations to successful outcomes. In this course, the student will build upon his/her existing negotiation skills and learn how to transition from a capable dealmaker to an expert negotiator, as well as how to create value for yourself and your organization. Throughout this course, the student will explore the integration of Christian faith principles and practices in a secular world and reflect on how their faith can guide their ethical choices, foster compassion, and promote reconciliation through negotiation strategies, conflict resolution skills, and communication principles, with practical application in both business and personal settings.
