Do not hesitate to challenge your Coach, test alternatives and explore different pathways. Once you have completed the current stage, click “Continue to next stage.”

Set up the meeting

Read your mandate and red lines. Choose what you want to train, from building trust to protecting the mandate and the integrity of the agreement, and set the difficulty of the negotiation from 1 to 4.

Meet the counterpart

Speak or type your turns. The counterpart answers in character and can be heard aloud. The meeting lasts up to 30 minutes and a set number of exchanges; you can pause or end it at any time.

Learn from the feedback

Your Coach rates the criteria you trained on four levels, quotes what worked, and suggests one thing to try next. Your dated, printable report shows your best level so far at the same difficulty, and suggests the next level when you are ready.

Your feedback is personal. Only anonymous figures, without your name or any of your words, are kept to improve the course.
