On Sun., Mar. 25, the topic is "Problem Solving with Interests not Positions," and it will be addressed by Iris Woodard, RNCS, ANP, Nurse Practitioner, Kaiser Permanente. The ability to communicate effectively has been said to be exactly proportional to the ability to negotiate effectively. While not without controversy, the interest-based approach, also termed principled negotiation, has been used widely and well as a union negotiating tool. This approach – whose core elements include information-sharing, creative exploration, and working toward mutually beneficial solutions – continues to be extrapolated successfully to many other situations.
