“The KARRASS Seminar takes the theory of negotiating and through the use of examples, case studies, and class interaction makes it real, understandable, and easy to use in work and in life. The clients I deal with at Land O' Lakes are working with us as partners. So while the original negotiations are set and firm, frequently I have to negotiate new elements of the relationship and ways to better communicate with my partners. The seminar helps me not only appreciate this need but also how to handle it.” Barbara Riordan, |

The most successful negotiation seminar in the United States was created and designed by Dr. Chester Karrass. No other negotiator in the country has a comparable background. Dr. Karrass has combined extensive research, advanced academic credentials in negotiation techniques, and over 35 years' experience in seminar delivery. What is the background of Dr. Karrass? After earning an Engineering degree from the University of Colorado and a Masters in Business from Columbia University, Dr. Karrass became a negotiator for the Hughes organization. There he won the first Howard Hughes Doctoral Fellowship Award, and spent three years conducting advanced research and experimentations in negotiation techniques before earning his Doctorate from the University of Southern California. He then returned to Hughes as a negotiation consultant. In 1968, Dr. Karrass used his research and experience in his pioneering Effective Negotiating® seminar, which was designed to assist other business people to master the strategies, tactics and psychological insights of negotiating. Dr. Karrass began holding his pioneering seminars at a time when most business executives and professionals did not realize how negotiation was a part of their business and personal lives. More than 800,000 professionals, including salespeople, buyers, corporate leaders, managers, engineers, financial officers, C.E.O.s and international business people around the world have attended Dr. Karrass' Effective Negotiating® seminar. Many of the participants have attended the Effective Negotiating® seminar In-House at their companies, and more than half of the Fortune 500 corporations currently licence the KARRASS program. Dr. Karrass is the author of four books on negotiation, including ‘The Negotiating Game’, ‘Give and Take’ and ‘In Business as in Life – You Don't Get What You Deserve You Get What You Negotiate’. They are all best sellers in their field. |
