Rogaland Toastmasters Meeting - Negotiation 101

​🤝 Negotiation 101

​You negotiate more than you think: a salary, a deadline, who cooks tonight, which film to watch. Most people never learn how. They either give in to keep the peace or dig in and call it confidence.

​Good negotiators don't win by being the loudest in the room. They ask before they argue, listen for what the other side actually needs, and know their own limit before the conversation starts. The aim isn't to beat someone. It's to leave with a deal you're both glad to shake on.

​Our meeting runs on a simple mechanic: prepared speeches, a live evaluation after each one, and Table Topics®, where you're handed a question you've never seen and speak on it for a minute or two. This time, all of it is about negotiation: how to ask for what you want, hold your ground without burning bridges, and find the yes hiding in a no.

​💼 No haggling at the door. Entry is free.

​🎤 Guests attend free and pick their own level: watch quietly, or take a Table Topics® question. Nobody is called on unwillingly, and nobody will try to sell you anything.
