An executive education masterclass on effective negotiation and communication is being offered by Northwestern University in Qatar and Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q).
“The importance of effective negotiation skills in the global business environment today can’t be overstated,” said Jairo A. Lugo-Ocando, director of executive and graduate education at Northwestern Qatar. “The course is uniquely tailored to equip professionals from Qatar and the region with the most effective negotiation strategies and communication skills needed to master business negotiation and become better leaders.”
The course, titled Effective Communication for Negotiating, is the first in the executive education program offered by Northwestern Qatar this fall, which will also include masterclasses on negotiation strategies, communication and team building, and communication with internal and external audiences.
“This course is part of a non-degree series with a forthcoming session on International Negotiations. Combining the strengths of Georgetown and Northwestern universities allows us to provide unmatched opportunities thanks to the Qatar Foundation Education City multiversity ecosystem,” noted Rodolph Boughaba, associate dean for executive education at GU-Q.
