Public-private partnerships are essential for economic progress—but they don’t come without conflict. Differences in priorities, regulatory expectations, and communication styles can stall negotiations or escalate into disputes. This webinar offers a compact yet powerful look at how structured negotiation and mediation practices can bridge the cultural and operational gap between governmental bodies and private enterprises.

We’ll explore:

• The typical sources of conflict in government-private sector collaboration

• How interest-based negotiation fosters understanding and progress

• When and how mediation can be used to prevent legal disputes and build trust

This session is ideal for professionals in procurement, infrastructure, policy, compliance, legal affairs, and anyone involved in cross-sector collaboration.

This webinar teaches participants to, not only better observe others, but to adjust their negotiation strategy instantaneously and instinctively with hardly a thought. Pete challenges, and actually contradicts the traditional beliefs and practices of strategic listening and responding. 

Participants will learn “triune thinking” processes, taking any hostile or difficult situation and placing it within their own sphere of comfort. They will learn techniques to counter direct attacks and accusations, how to successfully respond to “dirty negotiating tactics” most used by aggressive parties, and to create their own mental emergency travel kits for any occasion.
