Questions about negotiation training in the Midwest

Can you deliver negotiation training in person in the Midwest?

Yes. We deliver negotiation workshops in person in the Midwest, virtually, and across global teams. The right format depends on your audience size, time zones, goals, and level of practice required. We can run single workshops, multi-session programs, or larger rollouts with multiple cohorts, and we travel to teams outside the Midwest too.

How many people can attend a workshop?

Group sizes range from 6 to 50+ people, depending on the format. We run small-format workshops for hands-on practice and large-format keynotes for bigger audiences.

How far in advance should we book?

Clients usually book us three months in advance. Reach out for availability, especially if you already have dates in mind.

Do you deliver training in languages other than English?

We deliver predominantly in English and offer solutions in other languages, including Spanish, Italian, Mandarin, and more. Tell us what your team needs when you reach out.

Can the workshops be customized to our business?

Yes. We tailor examples, cases, language, and simulations to your team’s world without rebuilding the entire curriculum from scratch. That means participants learn a consistent negotiation framework, while practicing against scenarios that feel relevant to their roles, deal types, stakeholders, and internal challenges.

Who are your negotiation workshops designed for?

Our workshops are designed for professionals who negotiate internally, externally, or both. That includes sales teams, procurement teams, legal teams, revenue leaders, HR and L&D teams, managers, executives, and cross-functional groups that need a shared approach to negotiation. We work with participants ranging from early-career professionals to senior leaders handling complex, high-stakes conversations.
