Negotiation is a part of life.
From the workplace to politics to personal interactions, everything involves negotiation.

In your personal and professional life, you’ll find that cultivated negotiation skills foster better relationships and ultimately, more successful results.
The best things in life are on the other side of difficult conversations. This statement serves as the foundation for everything we do here at the American Negotiation Institute. The way we see it, if you have difficult conversations, you are a negotiator. So it’s not a question of whether or not you negotiate — it’s just a question of whether or not you are doing it well.
People often associate negotiation with conflict. At ANI, we think of negotiation as “any conversation where somebody in the conversation wants something.”
It’s as simple as that. Negotiation permeates most areas of our personal and professional lives. No matter what industry you’re in, or where you are in life, the tools of negotiation can help you improve your situation.
Negotiation training with ANI offers not only psychology-based theories of negotiation, but also actionable tactics for improving negotiation skills.
