Experts from Warwick Business School will be kick-starting an arts and culture festival in Coventry with a free post-pandemic workshop for small businesses.
The Negotiate Your Way To Success event, which has been organised by the University of Warwick as part of its Resonate Festival, will take place on Sunday (March 6) at the Telegraph Hotel Coventry.
The University of Warwick Business School will lead the three-hour workshop – aimed at helping attendees understand the psychology of negotiation in business and everyday life.
Businesspeople from across Coventry and Warwickshire are invited to sign up to develop, enhance and optimise their negotiation skills.
It will be led by Professor Thomas Hills, a behaviour scientist in the university’s Department of Psychology, and Daniel Read, Professor of behavioural economics at Warwick Business School.
The two professors will share their knowledge on a number of business-related subjects, including how to deliver more competitive deals, developing confidence in walking away from the wrong deals and identifying the difference between selling and negotiation.
“It will also be a brilliant opportunity to connect and network with other SMEs from across the region in person over some food and drink.”
The University of Warwick has arranged the workshop to tie in with the last few months of Coventry’s year-long run as UK City of Culture.
Celebrating the power of creativity, conversation and connection, the Resonate Festival started in May 2021.
A 12-month programme of inspiring, inter-active and free events was designed for all ages across Coventry and Warwickshire to spark ideas, curiosity and imagination.
The festival will culminate in a grand finale – Resonate 2022 – three-days of live events and activities on the University of Warwick campus from April 19 to 21.
Encompassing the arts, sciences and humanities, there will be performances, talks and public conversations, exhibitions, film festivals, walking tours, activities and so much more to generate a diverse festival for the creative and the curious across all local communities.
