Weekend University Budapest (Vol. 2)

Welcome to WHISPER's Social Learning event! 

If you have a passion for self-improvement through constant learning and self-education, you are definitely one of us!

✅ INTRODUCTION:

Schools are good at teaching us the hard skills and knowledge that help us to find a good job, but how about the soft skills and emotional intelligence that help us to find a happy life? 

With this event, we will learn together what's essential for our lives but what schools don't teach us, such as confidence, leadership, charisma, empathy, negotiation, authenticity, relationships, psychology, emotional management, and many other critical soft knowledge and skills for life. 

✅  HOW DOES IT WORK?

☑️  First, in the event, we will learn together from public courses / lectures / speeches from the world's top universities such as Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and many other institutions, taught by the world's top professors and thought leaders. 

Each event will focus on one topic / field. 

☑️  Afterward, we will provide you with workshops, interactive group exercises, and discussions to work on with your teammates to apply the knowledge in practice. 

You will see how much fun weekend learning could be when you are surrounded by like-minded people in a casual environment with a few drinks. 

✅  TOPIC OF THE WEEK: Negotiation in everyday life.

Lecturer: Christopher Voss. 

We will learn from his public lecture online.

School: Harvard Law School

Intro: Do you realize you are constantly negotiating in everyday life?

You negotiate your salary with your employer. You negotiate a promotion in the workplace. You negotiate who cleans dishes and changes your baby's diapers with your spouse. You negotiate with your kids on why they should eat more vegetables. You negotiate when and where to go on holiday with your friends and families. You negotiate the price with a seller on Alibaba from India. You negotiate your payment as a freelancer with your clients. You negotiate how to cooperate with your business partners and co-workers. You negotiate what to do with your secret crush to make her fall in love with you, even if you don't recognize this as a negotiation.

How can we maximize our gain in our daily negotiation and be a winner for life? What is the best strategy for or the result of a negotiation?

This weekend we will learn from Christopher Voss, a professor at Harvard Law School, and a former FBI Hostage Negotiator. He spent his life negotiating for the lives of other people. 

Everything we’ve previously been taught about negotiation is wrong: people are not rational; there is no such thing as ‘fair’; compromise is the worst thing you can do; the real art of negotiation lies in mastering the intricacies of No, not Yes. These surprising tactics—which radically diverge from conventional negotiating strategy—weren’t cooked up in a classroom, but are the field-tested tools FBI agents used to talk criminals and hostage-takers around the world into (or out of) just about any scenario you can imagine. In NEVER SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It, former FBI lead international kidnapping negotiator Chris Voss breaks down these strategies so that anyone can use them in the workplace, in business, or at home.
