Do you struggle to protect your time and budget in your crazy-busy work situation?
Even if you think you’re good at negotiating, it’s hard to get to win-win solution these days when you’re starved for time, overloaded with work and feeling resource-constrained.
There’s got to be a better way….And there is! Think “What’s In It For We (WIIFWe)?”
“Getting to We” is a new way to negotiate, being pioneered by negotiation expert and author Jeanette Nyden and her co-author, Kate Vitasek.
As they explain in their upcoming book, “Getting to We,” today’s times demand a more transparent and collaborative approach for working with others, whether working with strategic partners or internal stakeholders.
“Getting to We” means sitting on the same side of table— looking at each person’s perspectives to get to a fair and balanced agreement. .
In this free telecall on Friday, March 2 at 9 am PT (12 noon ET), Jeanette will introduce five principles that you can use to negotiate transformational agreements:
- Skinny Dipping: Transparency
- Let’s Get Real: Authenticity
- Wikidata: Common knowledge
- Power with: Collaborative style

“Getting to We” focuses on creating value for everyone involved, not just the person who talks the longest or the loudest.
