Negotiation Skills Intensive Program
Especially for coaches, team managers, sports administrators & other sports professionals
In sport, we are constantly negotiating with others, whether that be minor interactions or complex situations. Gaining the best outcomes consistently takes time, skill and knowledge of how to negotiate effectively. This programs shows you how to master negotiations, whatever the stakes!
The Negotiation Skills Intensive Program is coming to:

- Brisbane, QLD – 8:00am to 4:00pm
Tuesday 15 May 2012 - Sydney, NSW – 8:00am to 4:00pm
Wednesday 20 June 2012
Developing useful and effective negotiating skills is critical for anyone in sport. It is the key difference between achieving successful outcomes or feeling done over.
Negotiating is an integral part of any sports professionals working life. Whether the stakes are small or extreme, improving in this area has a massive impact.
Based on our experience from working with some of the top sports organisations, we've developed this program to focus specifically on improving negotiations skills and delivering more successful outcomes from your interactions with others.
If you work with different groups of people, being more effective at negotiating ensures you achieve more, enjoy your work more and get more of what you want. Enrol today.

Athlete Assessments' ManagerDISC & CoachDISC Profiles
For years now, our clients have benefited from the use of the CoachDISC and AthleteDISC profiles with their coaches, athletes and teams. They all agree that this has been key to developing the self-awareness you need to improve your level of emotional intelligence and understanding how your behaviour and personality impacts on your sports performances.
Aligned with our CoachDISC and AthleteDISC profiles, the ManagerDISC is a sports industry specific assessment to support managers, administrators, support staff and other sports professionals in their personal and professional development.
After completing you online survey, which takes around 12 mins, you receive an in-depth personalized ManagerDISC or CoachDISC Profile Report. It analyses your personal style, strengths and limitations and gives you tools and strategies you can start using straight away to improve your performance and personal effectiveness.
