Track I
Beyond Yes™
Deeper Wisdom & the Art of Negotiation

Originated at the Harvard Negotiation Insight Initiative, The Beyond Yes Method™ is a seven-step process that cultivates personal mastery for high performance. In this program, we learn how to work with timeless wisdom principles and our own life story to deepen and expand our effectiveness at engaging and resolving our toughest conflicts. This professional training is for those who face conflict at the workplace, in business, or with clients or colleagues, and want to enhance their effectiveness and authenticity. The Beyond Yes process is for professionals seeking more success and higher satisfaction, both at work and in life.

Track II
Cultivating Presence & Presentation Skills

Presence and presentation skills are central to success in every professional environment. An experience of presence offers us the kind of grounding we need to respond spontaneously, listen deeply, communicate our deepest intentions, and see old situations in new ways. Drawing on theater techniques, voice work, vipassana (insight) meditation, and the Beyond Yes Method, we learn how to cultivate and maintain our presence in the midst of important communication with others. We also refine our ability to speak to groups in a persuasive, authentic, and powerful way.

This workshop explores what gets in the way of bringing our best self and most powerful voice forward in work and life. We leave knowing how to express ourself more clearly, influence others more effectively, get our messages across clearly and persuasively, and speak in greater alignment with our true self.
