Here’s what Tad and Kelsa says about the session:

“Non-profit organizations are constantly having to engage in negotiation, whether it’s to secure funding, solicit donations from donors, or collaborate with colleagues. This Roundtable will help non-profit professional navigate different negotiation techniques while learning how to hold their ground and demonstrate value. They will also learn how to take stock of the people they are dealing with, determine the level of trust, and maneuver for their ideal outcome.

This Roundtable is appropriate for all levels of non-profit professionals and will enable each attendee to be more self-aware and empower them to work around their own disadvantages. An important part of this Roundtable will be assessing who is in the room and what they would like to take away in order to call this session a success. Discussion and collaboration are key, so come prepared to learn from those around you.

This session is appropriate for anyone who has to work with someone else for something they want. Folks of any job title or organizational size will find this session helpful. No prior experience is necessary for this session.”
