Beyond Yes: Deeper Wisdom and the Art of Negotiation

with Erica Ariel Fox

In Beyond Yes: Deeper Wisdom and the Art of Negotiation (Fundamentals), participants will learn the basic method that moves negotiators from competence toward mastery. In this course we introduce a system we call “archetypes and autobiography” to help people map their own obstacles and paths to success in light of timeless systems for understanding human nature. Drawing on presentations, reflection, partner and group exercises, and simple insight practices, this class is an excellent gateway into the places beyond reason and emotion where our true wisdom and best skills reside. The tools, techniques and insight of the Beyond Yes framework apply to all of life’s negotiations, both professional and personal.

The Beyond Yes™ method, originated at the Harvard Negotiation Insight Initiative, moves people from competence toward mastery by exploring the interplay between the best practices of negotiation and insights of the great wisdom traditions. In this program, we learn how to work with timeless principles and our own life story to deepen and expand our effectiveness at engaging and resolving our toughest conflicts, both with others and within ourselves.
