GLENDALE, Ariz. - Oct. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Those looking to learn the fundamentals of successful negotiation in today’s increasingly complex business environment, as well as the direct link between negotiation, trust, and achieving a sustainable outcome, are invited to attend the Global Summit on Negotiation and Trust at the Thunderbird Global School of Management, located at 1 Global Place, Glendale, AZ 85306.

Specifically, this conference will address two fundamentals of building relationships to maintain profitability and competitive edge: competency in negotiation and building trust. This is the only professional conference that directly makes the connection between negotiation, trust, and achieving a sustainable outcome—a link which is supported by independent research.

Attendees can expect to learn how to form and sustain collaborative relationships, increase cross-cultural competence and trust in international negotiation settings, guard against the exploitation of trust, use trust principles from a place of strength, make trust a competitive edge through practical tools and techniques from proven experts; deploy trust to resolve conflict more effectively, and how to improve negotiation outcomes. A complete beginner to negotiations can expect to leave the event with a substantial knowledge base.

Main conference registration grants attendees access to six main sessions featuring top experts and leaders on the topic of negotiation and trust; three full days of programming from Friday to Sunday, in addition to an afternoon kickoff pre-conference boot camp on Thursday; 20-plus speakers, keynotes, and general session presentations including panels; high impact executive-level training workshops, including breakout sessions, practical training, and debrief; daytime refreshments and conference lunches; a welcome reception; complimentary transportation to and from the Thunderbird campus and the Hotel; a chance to win a free Thunderbird course and free books by the speakers; and other networking opportunities to connect with peers, speakers and leading experts.

The core of the program will consist of keynote presentations, panel discussions, executive training workshops, Q&A sessions, interviews with speakers, networking opportunities, lunch & refreshments, reception & dinner, special VIP access to speakers (premium option), and special giveaways (such as courses, books or other prizes). The Executive Workshops will provide a range of additional benefits including learning how to resolve conflict in any situation, sharpening your skills to negotiate better deals, learning how to negotiate from a position of weakness, learning how to facilitate difficult conversations, developing empathy/listening skills and improving relationships, learning how to develop options and alternatives for mutual gain, and learning how to manage complexity and adversity in your negotiations.
