Negotiation consulting, training and coaching

NFP changed how I think about negotiation. The combination of real-world cases, deep theory, and exceptional instructors made it a super valuable experience.

From the beginning, David was always full of energy, humour, and professionalism. … I've gained a lot of knowledge, both scientifically and also very practical, about negotiation.

NFP connected me to a network of incredible people, introduced me to inspiring industry leaders and challenged my perspective many times, all while helping me improve my negotiation skills. NFP was the inspiration behind Negotiation Project Rotterdam, which I ended up co-founding and am currently actively working on.

His enthusiastic attitude and charismatic way of teaching provided everyone in the class with a great understanding of the class materials. … The personal feedback I received from David helped me improve my approach and gain confidence during negotiations.

David you are energetic and enthusiastic which is visible in everything you do. … For me it was really valuable to get this professional negotiation training from you as a negotiation expert.

Getting accepted into the Negotiation Fellowship Programme was a genuine turning point. … The biggest takeaway was the mindset shift: learning how to truly listen, stand my ground, and create real value with people.

He knows better than anyone how to motivate students and helped me take my negotiation skills to a new level. … I learned a lot from his effective and vision-oriented way of working and I could highly recommend him as both a teacher/mentor and a colleague.

During the course I got taught valuable tools that help me understand and go beyond splitting value, and instead find common grounds for creating it. … I really valued the experience they brought from the field, something that as a student you rarely hear from.

Excellent teacher, coach and instructor. David Charles has a great way of storytelling and guiding you through all aspects of negotiating. … Given his great people skills, he has the ability to provide personal, in-depth feedback which allows you to continue learning and improving.

His infectious energy and passion combined with his extensive knowledge and experience make David an educator who can challenge his students to step outside of their comfort zone inside and outside the classroom.

There is hardly a book about negotiation, which David has not read and he is able to provide a clear point of view with solid argumentation on any negotiation topic you would consider.

Over a period of 9 months, I have come to know David as a passionate and knowledgeable negotiation teacher with an energetic and enthusiastic teaching style. … Furthermore, his feedback is clear, concise, direct and to the point.

David zit vol met positieve energie, enthousiasme en met goede ideeën. Dit werkt zeer effectief en efficiënt in voor- en tegenspoed resulterend in een adequate samenwerking.
