Joining this course as a woman gave me an extra sense of motivation and empowerment. In my work, I frequently engage in negotiations with candidates, and this course provided me with a fresh perspective and deeper understanding of key concepts like ZOPA (Zone of Possible Agreement), which I had encountered in a previous course.
What stood out to me was the focus on practical negotiation strategies and the emphasis on building skills like active listening, which are invaluable in professional interactions. The course not only reinforced my existing knowledge but also helped me refine and expand my negotiation toolkit.
I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their negotiation skills, especially women navigating high-stakes professional environments. It’s insightful, empowering, and highly applicable to real-world scenarios.

Thank you Goldman Sachs for this incredible opportunity. My knowledge of negotiation was very poor, but this course really allowed me to understand better how to approach a negotiation, as well as how to use my skills effectively. The informations provided will be very useful for a future career and will surely enroll in other courses from the 10,000 women series!

It is a very good course. Please provide certificate for this course. Please help women to start their business by providing sales and marketing, make their products vocal to global by ordering their services and product. To give knowledge is good but to help them in their application is best.

I found the course very apposite for my requirements. Rather well formatted, for I usually take a while to get into the groove & continuity is a definite concern for me. On both accounts I found it ease to pick up from where I left off.
I am certainly looking at learning more.

I already have enrolled for a paid course on negotiations from the University Of Michigan via course era. That was more advanced and a bit too long but this course was just perfect reflecting on the very principles,one needs to be a good negotiator in todays biz scenario.
