Speaking
William Ury offers seminars throughout the year with the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School. The seminar topics include How to Say No & Still Get to Yes (based on his most recent book, The Power of a Positive No), Dealing with Difficult People (based on his book, Getting Past No) and of course Getting to Yes. He also offers Negotiation and Advanced Negotiation seminars internationally in events organized by HSM. He has given these seminars in countries such as Brazil, Italy, Germany, USA, Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand and many others. Click here for a schedule of his upcoming public seminars.
He also travels on-site to conduct seminars for clients. Companies and non-profit organizations often find it more cost-effective and problem-specific to have Dr. Ury come to them rather than to send a number of their staff to a public seminar. He has taught negotiation to tens of thousands of executives, managers, government officials, military officers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, union officials, coal miners, UN peacekeepers, diplomats, and others. He has consulted for dozens of Fortune 500 companies at the highest levels, including Marriott International, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Ford Motor Company, First Data, Schering-Plough, Prudential Insurance, Pepsi Cola, Novellus, and AT&T. Ury has also consulted to the White House, the State Department, and a host of not-for-profit organizations.
Each seminar Dr. Ury conducts is based upon the needs of the client and the concerns the client wishes addressed; he then tailors the seminar accordingly. They are always highly interactive.
