Negotiation has been present in my entire professional career, in all companies that I've worked for, and in all positions that I have occupied. It has been, therefore, a key aspect in my professional training that I treat always with great attention. The participation in this program had to make part of my professional path. The way it was structured, showing the high technical qualification of its coordinator, Prof. João Matos, coupled with his motivational and human qualities, made Negotiation 7 an absolutely fundamental tool to improve my professional skills, confirming the quality that we expect in CATÓLICA-LISBON's programs.

The Specialization Program in Negotiation is an essential tool for any manager, consistently exposed to daily negotiation situations, both internal and external. The structure of the program, the mastery and the extremely practical approach by the teachers provided an excellent experience that takes us out of our comfort zone and promotes rapid learning through the constant challenges of role-playing. The diversity and multidisciplinary of the participants were other factors that I valued and contributed to making the program even more stimulating.

Few management skills are as critical or complex as negotiating. Joao Matos' course offers a unique opportunity to develop expertise as a negotiation strategist. You will gain insight into how to develop a negotiation strategy and practice in doing so across a wide range of business environments: deal making, dispute resolution, and decision making. You will become proficient in negotiating when there is trust and when there is little trust; when there is a more powerful party across the table and when you hold the power; when negotiating occurs in the private sector and when it is with government representatives; and when negotiating is domestic and when it crosses national cultural boundaries.
