NATIONAL NEGOTIATION AND COMMUNICATION EXPERTS SPEAK IN WASHINGTON, DC

Lee Miller and Dyana Koelsch bring NegotiationPlus and Critical Communication Skills for Women to Washington, DC

Orem, UT February 10, 2006 Makau Corporation, a rising training provider that bridges the gap between learning and applying what’s learned by providing organizations with the newest generation of solutions for individual and enterprise-wide training by incorporating advanced e-learning concepts with traditional on-site workshops, announces live training sessions with Lee Miller and Dyana Koelsch, on April 26-27, 2006 at The City Club in Washington, DC.

Lee Miller and Dyana Koelsch continue their four city speaking tour in Washington, DC with the popular topics NegotiationPlus for Women and Critical Communication Skills for Women.

This course is for women involved in hiring, selling or buying, women who manage businesses or departments and women seeking to move their careers to the next level.

According to Lee E. Miller, a principal at NegotiationPlus.com, co-host with Makau’s EVP Barbara Jackson of Your Career Doctors radio show and one of Makau Corporation’s featured experts, every woman needs to know how to move her career to the next level.

“I believe negotiating is a critical element of both leadership and personal success,” said Miller. “I want to enable women to better understand their own personal style and to become better negotiators.”

NegotiationPlus is based on groundbreaking research from the best-selling book A Woman’s Guide to Successful Negotiating, How to Convince, Collaborate and Create Your Way to Agreement (McGraw Hill), selected by Atlanta Woman Magazine as one of America. According to Lee, mastering the art of negotiating will help you break through the glass ceiling.

Makau has teamed up with NegotationPlus.com and New Harbor Group to create and distribute insightful training in the areas of negotiation, interviewing, active listening, customer service, sales, message creation and delivery and offensive and defensive communication strategies.
