What is negotiation?
a method by which people settle differences
compromise or agreement is reached while avoiding argument and dispute
often begins once both sides realise that they can get something from the agreement
Individuals aim to achieve the best possible outcome for their position
the principles of fairness, mutual benefit and maintaining a relationship are the keys to a successful outcome

MOISHE AND GITTELE
Moishie and Gittele are an older couple from Golders
Green, getting married late in life.
They are planning their first holiday together. He’d like
to go on an adventure and has always fancied trekking in
the Himalayas with a backpack – you only live once. She
wants to go to somewhere sunny and put her feet up.
He’s heard from her friends that she likes Bournemouth.

Finish the relationship
Persuade Gittele to get fit and go trekking
Go to Bournemouth and grin and bear it

get back to work.
