Everyone has felt bullied at some point in their lives, whether by a family member, childhood acquaintance, colleague, boss, or client. You know you have been bullied when you feel pressured, demeaned, and angered. You walked away from a negotiation feeling like you lost ground.

You will learn how to quickly and easily: Recognize the tactics of a bully—before you yield ground in a negotiation; Employ an arsenal of negotiation strategies, including some you may have never considered using before; Plan a negotiation with a bully so that you feel prepared to tackle the situation; Interpret the body language of the bully—and his or her target—to better assess his or her intentions.
