Keynote Speaker
Saturday Keynote – Eldonna Lewis Fernandez, ACS, ALB, AS
Presentation Title: Think Like A Negotiator ™
Have you ever have ever lacked confidence, missed an opportunity because you didn’t ask for exactly what you wanted or avoided negotiation because you didn’t want to seem pushy? Would you like to improve those skills, be more confident, competent and successful?
Today’s best leaders are also great negotiators, whether they are discussing a multi-million dollar deal or simply where to meet for dinner. Negotiation is simply the technical term for discussions and conversations to reach an agreement. Improving your negotiation skills will give you more confidence and better results.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
