You’re invited to an exclusive, in-person seminar designed to elevate your negotiation skills and strengthen your communication effectiveness — using proven techniques inspired by FBI crisis negotiators.
This immersive program will equip you with real-world strategies for navigating complex conversations, uncovering hidden information and improving outcomes in investigations, interviews, advisory work, litigation matters and deal making.
Registration is limited. Please RSVP by Wednesday, January 7.
During this session, learn how to:
- Apply communication methods from high-stakes FBI interviews to elevate your information-gathering, influence and decision-making.
- Assess counterparties more effectively by understanding what truly matters to them — revealing both opportunities and hidden risks.
- Enhance questioning and active listening skills to uncover motivations, concerns, pressure points and key decision drivers.
- Identify subtle linguistic and behavioral cues — including tone shifts and language patterns — that expose underlying meaning during sensitive discussions.
Whether you’re negotiating deals, interviewing stakeholders, evaluating risk, or conducting investigations, this program will give you practical tools you can use immediately.
