Listen to Lead

Join LCCC Entrepreneurs Network for a breakfast event with former UK hostage negotiator and international keynote speaker Nigel Tabener. What can hostage negotiation teach us about building better businesses? Drawing on more than 30 years of experience with Greater Manchester Police, including 10 years as a hostage negotiator during which he helped save more than 130 lives, Nigel brings the high-stakes world of negotiation into the business arena. Through gripping real-life stories and practical, immediately applicable techniques, Nigel will explore how elite negotiators listen, build trust, manage conflict and influence people when the pressure is on. From difficult conversations and competing interests to moments when you feel you have little to offer, the principles of hostage negotiation can provide powerful lessons for entrepreneurs and business leaders. Expect a thought-provoking and highly engaging session packed with practical tools to help you communicate with greater confidence, navigate challenging conversations and achieve better outcomes.
