 DT\n\nNegotiation isn't just for contract talks and salary discussions—i
 t's a skill business analysts use every single day. Whether you're alignin

 egotiate effectively can make or break a project's success.\n\nIn this ses
 sion\, Misael Castro Reyes will break down the core negotiation principles
  every BA needs in their toolkit: reading the room\, finding common ground
  among stakeholders\, balancing scope against limited time and resources\,
  and knowing when to hold firm versus when to flex. But this isn't just a 
 negotiation 101 session—we'll also explore how AI tools can give you an 
 edge in preparation and strategy\, helping you anticipate objections\, str
 ucture your talking points\, and walk into tough conversations more confid
 ent and better prepared.\n\nWhether you're a seasoned BA looking to sharpe
 n your influence or newer to the role and want to build these skills early
 \, you'll walk away with practical techniques you can apply in your very n
 ext stakeholder meeting.\n\nPresented by: Misael Castro Rosas\, PMP\, ITIL
