Dates:

• Tue 5 Oct 11:00 - 13:00

This course is a 2 day course, please only apply if you can attend both days.

Over the course of two sessions you will be given tools to help you pitch, influence, negotiate and listen. The masterclass will build on your existing skills, increase your awareness of yourself and others, and look at new negotiation and rapport-building techniques. You will learn to build stronger relationships and improve your communication style, enhancing your ability to convince others and get the outcomes you’re looking for. 

Who it's for

The masterclass is recommended for anyone who is currently working across the UK screen industries where influencing, negotiation and communication are an important part of the job. Suitable for seasoned professionals and new entrants alike, it is relevant for business and creative roles and will benefit you whether or not your job directly involves financial negotiation. Each session is interactive, with opportunities to ask questions and be part of discussions, ensuring you get the answers you need. You’ll need a stable internet connection and we’d encourage you to have your cameras on and be prepared to unmute yourselves in order to fully participate in the group.
