Learn from one of the foremost experts on conflict resolution: William Ury. He introduced the world to the field of negotiation with the publication of Getting to Yes, the seminal book on resolving personal and professional disputes, which has been translated into more than 35 languages.
Now Ury is sharing his latest insights into negotiation and conflict resolution in a new one-day online course inspired by his upcoming book, Possible. Drawing on more than 45 years of experience guiding and advising negotiations of all kinds, Ury will tell a range of stories matched with practical takeaways, revealing not only how to survive conflict, but how to thrive in it.
Thrive in an age of conflict
In our homes, workplaces, and around the world, devastating disagreements are poisoning our relationships and paralyzing our ability to discuss critical issues. But conflict doesn’t have to be destructive. In fact, Ury will demonstrate how constructive conflict negotiation can open up a world of possibilities.
To help you better navigate disputes, Ury will share his knowledge as a negotiation adviser and mediator in conflicts ranging from labor strikes to boardroom battles and from mediating partisan political strife to helping end wars around the world.
By learning Ury’s actionable new framework – the Path to Possible – you’ll be empowered to approach conflict with curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.
Put what you’ve learned into practice
Not only is Ury a highly experienced negotiator, he’s also a seasoned Program on Negotiation instructor who has led many popular programs. In “Possible,” Ury will guide you through breakout sessions, exercises, role plays, and other hands-on experiences so you better understand how to apply the Path to Possible to your own disagreements, disputes, and arguments. You’ll emerge feeling more confident in your ability to navigate any conflicts that come your way.
