Llegar a Sí: Influir para obtener resultados óptimos
Pareto's Optimal Curve
In today’s work environment, employees need to influence and collaborate with others over whom they have no formal authority. These collaborations may take place with employees, peers, and leaders at every level within their organization, as well as with others outside of their organization, including customers, suppliers, or those with whom a mutually satisfying agreement is needed. Strong collaborating and influencing skills are needed to ensure that managers have the ability to handle difficult issues and situations in a way that creates mutually satisfying agreements.
Getting to Yes (GTY) helps managers become better influencers and, ultimately, negotiators. It is based on the concept of Principled Negotiation, a method that offers managers an efficient process for reaching optimal business agreements that are satisfying to both parties while strengthening professional relationships.
Program Outcomes
GTY gives managers a proven approach for turning face-to-face confrontation into side-by-side problem-solving. This established program enables individuals to create mutually satisfying agreements that lead to optimal results for both parties. It also provides a variety of tools that can improve relationships between collaborating parties.
Learning Approach
Wilson Learning believes that learning must be transferred to day-to-day work practices. To achieve this, GTY includes components and activities that enhance Participant Readiness, Learning Transfer, and Organizational Alignment.

Participant Readiness: Readiness prepares participants and managers for the overall learning experience:
- Pre-workshop communication and assignment
Learning Transfer: design embeds practice and use of new skills. The learning can be flexibly delivered as a:
- Two-day face-to-face, application-oriented workshop (one-day option also available)
- Modular workshop, delivered over nonconsecutive days to allow application between sessions
The face-to-face workshop can be taught by a Wilson Learning facilitator or by an organization’s own leader-trained in-house professional.
Organizational Alignment: ensures the organization supports the use of the new skills:
- Post-learning reinforcement activities available for both the manager and participant
As a result, participants will continue to apply the skills and tools learned long after the learning event is completed.
Enabling Improved Performance
Getting to Yes (GTY) includes various performance application, reinforcement, and support tools, such as application exercises, planners, electronic reinforcement tools, performance checklists, etc. These tools ensure that participants can hone newly acquired skills and behaviors upon returning to work. Involving managers early on and training them to coach for Principled Negotiation is critical to successful program implementation.
