What?
Bargaining in the educational setting requires more than strategy alone. It requires strong relationships, thoughtful communication, adaptability, and a clear understanding of both people and process.
In this Webinar Wednesday session, we will share practical negotiation strategies and lessons learned from our experiences across different districts, bargaining environments, and negotiation styles. We will discuss the spectrum of negotiation approaches, tools and resources that support preparation and problem-solving, and strategies for navigating challenging conversations productively and professionally.
Most importantly, we will focus on what happens beyond the table: the relationship-building, trust, communication, and people-centered leadership that help sustain positive working relationships long after negotiations conclude.
Whether you are newer to negotiations or an experienced school HR leader, this session will provide practical insights, honest reflection, and real-world strategies you can bring back to your own district.
