With less focus on the purely psychological aspects of reaching agreement than "Getting to Yes" Levine's becomes a much more pragmatic approach." Perdido, Leadership With a Conscience review of "The Book of Agreement" SET THINGS IN ORDER FOR THE NEW YEAR !
Lessons learned "in the thick of it." For more than 30 years, I've been working with people in conflict, in all types of situations. From feuding partners to disgruntled employees, frustrated consumers to divorcing couples, divided teams to struggling salespeople -- I've been right there in the thick of it, helping to resolve impossible situations, and saving thousands of relationships. It's been my lifelong career. Over that 25 years, I've discovered exactly what works, and what doesn't work when it comes to preventing and resolving conflict. These same principles, and the psychology behind them, can work for you. I know, because they've worked for thousands of people just like you. Fighting and "barking" is a silly, ineffective way to solve problems. The heart of conflict. All conflict is emotional. Whether it's a divorce, a business dispute, or organizational breakdown, it's never about what people say they're fighting about - it's always about their emotions. That's why I show people how to start off with a meeting of mind and heart as a way of preventing conflict. Beginning with a thoughtful, frank discussion on the front end, and reaching a joint vision of the outcome is much more powerful and efficient than trying to win a fight. Agreement is more powerful than conflict. We succeed in life by forming agreements, agreements with others and ourselves. In fact, the ability to craft effective agreements and collaborative partnerships is a fundamental life skill critical to your success in business, sales, leadership, and professions of every kind. But surprisingly, agreement is a skill we were never taught. A "resolutionary" solution. The traditional idea is to create agreements for protection that focus on providing remedies for what goes wrong. This seems OK, but one of main causes of agreement breakdown is that the negotiation of the agreement is seen as an adversarial process each party tries to win. What if we shifted the context of the process of forming agreements from adversarial, win/lose negotiating to a joint visioning process that articulates an inclusive vision of outcomes, and generates a clear road map to desired results? What if we learned to design agreements that express a joint vision that satisfies everyone? What if you can easily benefit from this life-changing approach in your business, career, relationships and life? The results would be resolutionary! Discover the "Power of Agreement" I've created a program that shows you in step-by-step detail the most effective success strategies I've developed over 25 years. It's different than anything you've seen. Traditional mediation, and advice of this kind, typically focus on what to do when you're already in a conflict. Living By Agreement not only shows you how to resolve conflict, but also what to do to prevent it. Once you get this information, you'll be able to use it to lead more effectively, advance your career, get more business, and enjoy better results in your daily life. LIVING BY AGREEMENT DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE AGREEMENTS FOR RESULTS IS A FUNDAMENTAL COMPETENCE FOR ALL ACCOMPLISHMENT! AGREEMENTS FOR RESULTS LEAD TO SATISFYING PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS! In "Living by Agreement" you will learn how to create covenantal relationships that are based on shared commitment to ideas, issues, values, goals and process. Covenant is the true source of real teamwork, and is a key ingredient for having a "Family" at work and a "Family" at home. And family is the source of the richness and fulfillment we seek. With covenants in place results beyond expectation follow. In "Living By Agreement" you will discover kernels of wisdom that can save you years of pain and frustration: LIVING BY AGREEMENT IS GUARANTEED TO PROVIDE THESE BENEFITS: * Improved Health * Improved Vitality * More Control Over Your Life * Satisfying Relationships * Greater Levels of Productivity * Higher Income and Potential * Improved Marriages * More Control over Your Kids * Less Fear Dealing With Others * Greater Focus * The Ability to Set Clear Goals and Create the Vision and Roadmap to Them WHEN: January 30-31 WHERE: San Francisco Bay Area.
