Negotiation Coaching
Many of us, when faced with the need to negotiate to resolve an issue, experience a variety of feelings: fear, resentments, a desire to win or overpower the other, hopelessness, anxiety. In situations like this, an experienced negotiation coach can help you address and calm the feelings, clarify the issues and the underlying goals of the negotiation, understand the other party and their goals, and develop a clear and reasonable strategy to guide you through the process.

Christine Forsyth & Associates provides assistance to clients preparing for negotiations in connection with business, career and personal issues. We also support clients during the negotiations, either directly in the negotiation or by providing relevant and useful feedback to clients as the negotiation progresses.

"Negotiation is an interaction in which people try to meet their needs or accomplish their goals by reaching an agreement with others who are trying to get their own needs met. Whether we call it problem-solving, bargaining, cooperative decision-making or communication, when two or more people try to reach a voluntary agreement about something, they are negotiating."

Goal Achievement Coaching
Individual clients and groups have challenges to face and goals to achieve. It is often difficult to see a clear way ahead or to find the time, commitment and energy to persevere through the difficulties to achieve the desired outcome.

Christine Forsyth has helped many individuals clarify the issues challenging them, develop the necessary calm and resolve to approach them constructively, and the confidence and ongoing commitment to find and achieve the best possible outcome.

"Career change these days is a fact of life and employers increasingly recognize that facilitating custom-designed career transitions has benefits for both the organization and the individual."
