All of us negotiate every day. From the moment we wake up until we close our eyes at night, we interact with others to get things done. The hardest negotiations involve conflict. Whether we fight back, shut down, or avoid conflict all together, breakdowns with other people rarely bring out best skills or better nature. During this exciting weekend, you will learn how working with timeless principles and your own life story can deepen and expand your effectiveness to engage and resolve tough conflicts. From working well with clients and colleagues to living well with your family and friends, this program gives you insights and skills to turn stressful situations into success and satisfaction.

Erica Ariel Fox, JD, teaches negotiation at Harvard Law School and is the founder of the Global Negotiation Insight Institute. Internationally recognized as a pioneer in integrating great wisdom traditions and spiritual practices into the negotiation and conflict field, she works with business and public sector leaders to build consensus, improve communication, facilitate change, and mediate disputes.

Fox has been teaching with the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School since 1996, and builds her work on the teaching of her mentors, including Robert Mnookin, Frank E.A. Sander, Michael Wheeler, Roger Fisher, and William Ury. In addition to leading the Global Negotiation Insight Institute, Erica Ariel Fox also serves on the Harvard Mediation Program’s advisory board, the board of directors of Mediation Works Incorporated, and is a partner at Mobius Executive Leadership. She founded the Global Negotiation Insight Institute to help merge the fields of negotiation and conflict management with philosophy, spirituality, and psychology. She has recently completed her book, Beyond Yes.
