Successful
Negotiation in Everyday Life

Thorsten Hofmann is a sought-after expert in crisis and negotiation situations. His career began as an operational investigator for the BKA and INTERPOL, where he was deployed in some of the most spectacular extortion and hostage situations in Germany and abroad. His training by the FBI as well as deep insights into psychology, sociology and behavioural analysis qualify him for negotiation consulting in politics and business. You too can learn from the specialist and master the negotiations of your everyday life.

Profit from Thorsten's insights by applying them in your private life. Each of us negotiates five to ten times a day. Whether in a partnership, with the children or with the boss. In this online course, you will learn negotiation tactics to successfully achieve your everyday goals. Discover how opposing interests can be transformed into solutions and why it is important to build a relationship.

Using seven rules to negotiation success, Thorsten Hofmann guides you step by step through the essence of a successful negotiation. You will learn that arguments are not the solution and why they often stand in the way of the negotiation goal.

Find out which motives are behind your counterpart's demands. You will learn which specific questions you can ask and how to use the "power of silence".

Thorsten explains how you can use small talk to loosen up the atmosphere and which principles you can use to generate sympathy for yourself. In the process, he gives precise instructions on how to formulate proposed solutions.

Exclusively for Meet Your Master, we get down to the nitty-gritty in a practical lesson. Our special guests Heiner Lauterbach and Dominique Lorenz re-enact a case study, while Thorsten comments and corrects the negotiation.

Perfect your negotiation skills bit by bit. You too can be convincing in difficult situations!
