Negotiation and communication resources created with the learner in mind.
The Academy of Negotiation
The Academy of Negotiation provides evidence-based negotiation trainings, coaching and thought leadership resources. With a specialized background in negotiation, communication, and organizational change, we combine the best of academic research and practical organizational application to design tailored, interactive solutions for our clients and partners.
​
Grounded in Science
Founded by an Industrial-Organizational Psychologist with a Ph.D., our trainings and solutions are designed from empirical research findings and field-tested by real working people.
People Focused
We utilize human-centered design principles to create solutions that put the end-user first. Not all "best practices" are best for everyone. Leveraging empirical research, and listening to the needs of our clients, we design solutions that are tailored to fit your needs.
Interactive Learning
We believe that learning should be a fun and practical hands-on experience. That's why we've gamified our trainings to be interactive, even when they're online. Negotiation is a two-party activity, and our trainings emphasize the importance of the participation of our learners.
Empirically designed and tested by working employees.
Our award-winning, evidence-based Negotiation Mindset Training was tested for over two years by working professional women.
Using a control group, and pre-test / post-test measures, our training program resulted in the following:
Increased perceptions of the ability to learn negotiation skills
Increased confidence in negotiating abilities
Decreased the fear of backlash
Increase of setting more specific and difficult goals
​
We believe in the importance of designing solutions that are grounded in science and tested by real people.
