Event – Negotiation skills

A CAB taster session 26 April 2007 at The Oxford Centre, Oxford (map)?

We all learn to negotiate when we are very young, and often that is the way we continue. As adults, however, we deserve to negotiate in a way that generates fair outcomes that we feel we deserve rather than being ?outsmarted? and coming off worst. This workshop will teach you the rudiments of:

? How to negotiate confidently through proper preparation
? The 6 essential ingredients to successful negotiation
? The 4 basic rules to understanding who you?re dealing with and to deal with them most effectively
? Maintaining grace under fire

Practice Advisory Board Forum 20 March 2007

I attended the first Practice Advisory Board (PAB) forum at Moorgate Place titled: The War for Talent – shaping our future – equipping you to attract and keep the best.

Nick Land, former chairman of Ernst & Young and now PAB chairman, outlined his vision for the PAB, saying its principal role was to establish strong networks in order to be:

? a catalyst to influence institute activities and services
? a focal point within the Institute for identification of issues
? a facilitator to improve communication with practising members Continue reading “Practice Advisory Board Forum 20 March 2007”

Stoppress March 2007

This is my article from the March edition of TVSCA Stoppress:

During summer 2006 our Institute created five key advisory boards – Practice, Business, Young Professionals, International and Public Sector. These are focal points within the Institute for matters of strategic and operational interest and concern to members across all segments of the membership. The information flow is meant to be two way members to centre and centre to members. To this end the Practice Advisory Board is running a forum in March entitled “Shaping our Future”. It is the District Societies intention to send a representative to this event and for him/her to report back to the membership. In the meantime we will also be planning a local event, where Ian Morris (immediate Past President) will present the Board’s aims and views to the District Society. I would welcome an indication as to whether you would be interested in attending. Please email paul@pmtate.co.uk
Regards,
Paul M Tate
