Negotiation is a part of everyday life. It is also an essential part of being a manager. In the business world, negotiation skills are the foundation of a successful career and a productive workplace. Without proper negotiation skills, people often fail to pursue their goals or settle for an outcome that is far less than it could be. Yet, formal training in this critical skill is not a requirement. The chances are that despite years of experience negotiating with your superiors, subordinates, co-workers, suppliers, customers, or stakeholders, you did not have formal training in negotiations. In this Lehigh University Executive Education workshop, you will build an effective foundation for successful negotiations and learn to achieve your business and personal goals through advanced negotiation tactics.

Executive Certificate Program
While individual programs focus on the specific knowledge and skills professionals need to succeed, certificate programs offer greater depth and breadth while demonstrating a stronger commitment to personal development. Certificates set you apart in the workplace - advanced credentials enhance your resume, opening doors to more senior positions and greater earning potential.
While most companies agree that talent is their most important asset, they aren’t investing enough in development. The ultra-flexible Executive Certificate in Management and Leadership—the most popular certificate offered by Lehigh—will help you develop your leadership skills and sharpen your business acumen. The certificate program consists of four programs and is designed to fit busy schedules, with highly focused programs that run for one or two days.
This four-part executive education series empowers professionals from all backgrounds to understand, apply, and strategically leverage artificial intelligence—no prior AI experience required. Through hands-on activities, no-code tools, and real-world business cases, participants will build critical AI fluency across analytics, problem-solving, and strategy.
Bring your own device and log in to your preferred LLM (ex. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.) to gain practical experience using AI and GenAI tools that can drive innovation and create lasting business value.
