We all negotiate. Negotiation is one of the most important ways of making decisions in professional, social and private life. At the same time, it is one of the few competencies whose development brings immediate and measurable benefits. Every złoty negotiated is net profit. At House of Skills, we help organisations develop these skills in a practical way – so that they can conduct conversations more effectively, deal better with conflict and reach solutions that are beneficial from a business perspective.
Negotiations begin without a plan: no objective, strategy or conversation scenarios.
The parties fight over positions instead of looking for interest-based solutions.
Concessions are made too quickly — and end with the feeling that ‘we gave away too much again’.
Difficult conversations escalate because there is a lack of de-escalation tools and emotional control.
Hard tactics and pressure destroy trust, and relationships suffer long after the ‘win’.
In internal negotiations, silos take over: departments are unable to reach joint agreements.
Agreements are unclear — everyone understands them differently, so conflict returns during implementation.
Companies have excellent experts, but without consistent negotiation standards, they lose time and money.

Let’s talk
My name is Małgorzata Łukaszuk – I am a Senior Partner at House of Skills and an expert in negotiation processes and building agreement. I will be happy to answer all your questions.
What is unique in House of Skills work methods?
We create and execute projects in the classroom and the hybrid format so that investments in development of people and management systems can bring a real return.
No matter if we focus on individuals, teams or organizations, the measure of our success is the specific change and its meaningful business effect. This is why in our approach the implementation is embedded in the whole process.
How do we ensure the effects of online and hybrid training?
An online development process is effective at all stages on condition that we build and maintain engagement. This is why our approach is based on three pillars:
Personal relationship
Designing
Interactivity
The necessary features and technological tools are adjusted to the assumed objective and the customer needs. The virtual House of Skills training studio is our unique form of work: add classroom tools to modern technology to get a single reality.
We work primarily on a workshop basis, which means that theoretical knowledge is limited to a minimum and most of the time during sessions is devoted to experiencing and practicing skills.
We apply engaging and diverse methods of work with people, among others, online and classroom workshops, webinars, conference lectures, Action Reflection Learning sessions, workshops conducted by the drama method, business simulations, implementation calendars, self-diagnosis questionnaires, consulting & coaching and blended learning sessions. Applications, websites and platforms are used where they facilitate the development process.
Does training translate into effects?
Achievement of the effect consistent with the customer’s expectations, which was contracted at the process beginning, is the core of our philosophy of action.
It depends on Customer’s expectations. Training can be organized in the Customer’s registered office or in a leased training classroom at any location. For projects executed in Warsaw we recommend the classrooms of our Metrum ¾ training center, which are excellently equipped for workshop-based activities.
