Online Course

Negotiate a case from the most sought-after course over 20 years at top-rated Wharton Business School. This innovative course rejects the conflictive power, leverage and logic, and instead focuses on the more collaborative emotional intelligence, perceptions and cultural diversity. It produces four times as much value while insisting on fairness.

You will negotiate in real time with another person – someone of your own choosing or someone we can provide for you. Then you will see an interactive debrief with the course developer, Prof. Stuart Diamond, author of The New York Times bestseller, Getting More. The book was called the #1 book to read for your career by The Wall Street Journal’s career site, and the best negotiation book “of all time” by Inc. Magazine. It has sold more than 1.5 million copies in 27 languages.

The innovative model has been used to train thousands of Googlers, managers from 220 of the Fortune 500 companies, U.S. Special Operations and people from all walks of life in 60 countries. It’s not just for business, but for shoppers who want discounts, parents who want better relationships with their kids, and getting more control over the daily interactions in life. You will become a more persuasive person in all that you do.

Speaking Engagements

Professor Diamond delivers speeches of varying lengths for organizations, conferences, team off-sites, and many other events. During these speeches, audiences learn a set of principles that we had as children, but forgot as we grew up. We re-teach adults to use their observations to engage more productively with people who are different from themselves.­

From the first five minutes of our presentation, audiences will start to look at the world differently. We will lay out, with anecdotes and pointed evidence, what’s wrong with how we treat each other, and what to do about it in all areas of life. Our presentation is direct and practical - leaving audiences with skills they can use right away. 

  • “The best presentation any of us have ever seen,” Rob Altomare, Manager, Johnson & Johnson.

  • “The most valuable tools in my fifteen years in sales, marketing, and business development.” Sandeep Sawhney, Director of Business Development, The Weather Channel.
