This course will definitely support and improve my future work."

"Since taking the UC Berkeley Negotiations course, my confidence level in negotiations has increased, and I'm more conscious of doing the right research before starting conversations. This course is very user-friendly and practical."

"On the first day you challenged us to learn something that would help us immediately. I give the course a 100 and am going to send my executive sales team to this course!"
"My recent experience with the Executive Education program of Berkeley was excellent. The three day course on Negotiations and Influence taught by Professor Holly Schroth provided key insights into achieving mutually beneficial, long term agreements, and how to reach those agreements more amicably. Without a doubt, I am a more effective negotiator for having taken this course. Given the scope and breadth of the deals we make on a yearly basis, even a small improvement in our effectiveness represents a huge ROI."

"The Negotiations Program offered by UC Berkeley Executive Education has given me new insights into my personal style that has enabled me to leverage my own strengths and weaknesses to be a more effective negotiator."
