In an AI-accelerated workplace, negotiation is no longer confined to boardrooms and contracts — it’s embedded in every decision, from aligning stakeholders to balancing resources in real time. Leaders who treat negotiation as a core strategic skill — not just a transactional tactic — gain the edge to move faster, align diverse interests, and secure outcomes that last.

This session reframes negotiation as a leadership capability, enhanced by AI-powered insights and prompts, to help leaders navigate competing agendas and unlock collaboration.

In today’s global environment, project success depends less on tools and methodologies—and far more on how clearly teams communicate. Misunderstandings, assumptions, vague messages, cultural gaps, and the “curse of knowledge” quietly generate delays, rework, and frustration. And when a project spans countries, time zones, or cultures, these risks multiply.

In this interactive workshop, Guilherme Furlan brings over 15 years of global experience leading multicultural teams across the USA, Brazil, Europe, and Asia in the energy, automotive, supply chain, and semiconductor industries. Through real stories, data, and a group dynamic, participants will experience how small communication gaps evolve into major project issues.
