You are an experienced and successful negotiator. As a professional you’ve bargained with vendors, clients, employees, bosses, team members. So why do you need some “expert” to come in and talk about negotiation?

Just as the top athletes, entertainers, and other professionals attend workshops and conferences for professional growth to improve on existing skills, we all benefit from leveraging the knowledge, skills, and experience of others.  And that’s what Jeff Owens, a former Hawaii police hostage crisis negotiator, brings to you.

Drawing on years of experience in high-stakes situations as a police hostage negotiator, crisis communicator, and later negotiating deals as a successful business leader; Jeff guides his audiences to the insights needed to move from “negotiation” to “Effective Negotiation” to enhance success in achieving desired outcomes in business and interpersonal negotiations. 

While navigating technicalities are important, Jeff shares the most important aspect of negotiation — the human element. By adding the understanding of the human factors that influence both sides in a negotiation, you will possess a powerful amplifier to make you more effective in your professional and personal life. 

To better understand these factors, Jeff will focus on the same elements he used to negotiate life and death hostage situations in Honolulu. In this powerful session, you will learn to become more aware of and able to apply the synergistic elements that enhance the probability of achieving desired outcomes in any bargaining situation.
