When:  Saturday, June 19, 8:30am

Co-sponsored by the Executive Master of Public Administration Program at Golden Gate University, Genentech, and Management Recruiters of Berkeley

Do you want to:

• Be a better negotiator at work?
• Have more successful salary negotiations?
• Get a better deal on a house or car?

You can learn from a recognized expert in the field of negotiations, Tim Dayonot. Tim will teach you the fundamentals of every negotiation, including how to strengthen your position, defend yourself against "tricks" and find creative solutions.

Capacity is limited to 30 spots, as the workshop will focus on interactive exercises and simulations.

For the past six years, Tim has taught MBA students at UC-Berkeley's Haas School of Business. He is currently the Director of the California Department of Community Services and Development and a member of the State Bar of California's Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee.

"Tim Dayonot's skills as a negotiator and teacher are extraordinary."
-- Grantland Johnson, former Secretary, California Health & Human Services Agency

Tim has graciously agreed to teach this course at a special nonprofit rate that is 75% off his normal rate. If you register by Wednesday, June 9, you will receive this special rate of $95. (After June 9, the cost is $150.)

Breakfast and lunch will be provided. A significant portion of the proceeds from this seminar will go toward supporting future YFPA programs and events.
