What is YOUR most defining
moment of learning discovery, & what did it do for YOU?
If you’d like to know:
- How as a kid he got a $23,261 line of credit from his bank manager when he
was barely out of his high school shorts and had just discovered girls..
- How he entered the UK’s top-ranked business school, despite the admissions
tutor (a grizzled senior lecturer in accounting) telling him to his face he’d
never let him in.
- How in June 2007 he bought a new car for his wife, which became a total loss
in an IL ice storm on Jan 6, 2009... but he got more money from the loss
adjuster of Encompass Insurance for the car than the total selling price he
paid Atlanta Toyota some 18 months earlier when the car was brand new (and it
was a standard insurance policy, with a stock unmodified car)..
.. then you’re reading the right email, because all is about to be revealed to
a limited number of Chicago Toastmasters in a free research study invitation
sponsored by a member of ET (Extreme Toastmasters): Simon Kennedy Rose joined ET at the end of last year.
Research Study INVITATION with the University of Illinois & Third Force
Negotiation
Thirty years ago, when he was in his early teens he had the good fortune
to align himself with one of the world’s top consultant negotiators,
discovering the core ideals that would change his life. Oddly,
adults around him didn’t seem to know this stuff (as the results above
illustrate).
If you’ve seen him at Extreme or Viewmasters, you might have heard him
talking about hostage-crisis negotiation, or ‘what’s the worst thing you can do
to a negotiator?’
He is in Chicago to conduct a research study on effective negotiation,
but not just one or two snippets of best practice advice... he is here to test a
whole program from his original mentor in the UK, which he says will
eliminate your negotiation mistakes – literally overnight; that means dramatic
results, dramatically fast for both your business & your personal life.
Not Your Father’s negotiation skills
This is not any ordinary ‘chalk & talk’ presentation, there are NO
lectures, only games, simulations, case studies, exercises & activities –
you can find more about these over on the Third Force Negotiation
website, and videos
of people who undertook this training last year and what they had to say
about it.
There are a limited number of seats available for TWO sessions:
- Tuesday, May 14, 9 am to 6 pm (a condensed one-day seminar)
- Wednesday & Thursday, May 15 & 16, 9 am to 6 pm (for the
full two-day program)
In these workshops you will discover the hidden universal truths behind best
practice negotiation, and all the principles, processes & behaviors Simon’s
been applying for the last three decades to great effect. This is a
full-blown state-of-the-art corporate negotiation-training program that
companies pay thousands of dollars for, and it is new in the USA.
Simon’s offer is very simple – in exchange for your participation in this
research study (developed by the University of Illinois Business School) and
your promise to share your experiences & provide feedback (and at
Toastmasters this is our specialty) he will lay on the training for FREE to a
limited number of Toastmasters on a first come, first served basis.
There are only two conditions and one request:
You may attend his world class negotiation seminar FREE, if you agree to
#1. Reserve your seat while space is available;
#2. Notify the organizer ASAP if you cannot attend for any reason,
so that another Toastmaster can take your place. Please do not take up a
limited seat if you are not certain of attending.
Lastly, please share this email with as many Chicago Toastmasters and clubs as
you can.
It would be great to have as diverse a mix of people as possible.

- and for all Toastmasters, this is not only your chance to come out as a
master negotiator, but also to observe John Horton working a room; John is an
accomplished public speaker and trainer of vast experience (his impressive
testimonials are on the Third
Force website)
John previously worked 35 ‘short years’ for Milliken, one of the Fortune 100
‘Best Companies to Work For’, where he was responsible for the training of
3,000 of Milliken’s managers worldwide. John says this material “is the
most powerful corporate training program I have ever come across” and he is on
the video links
talking about it.
- Simon’s negotiation mentor, who he affectionately calls “Yoda”, is an
internationally recognized authority in the field, who has published 15 books
in over 18 languages all on negotiation, and spent over 40 years researching
real life negotiations to identify what works, and most importantly, what
doesn’t. He has also represented governments and handled $400 million
disputes, and Simon says he is “one of the best kept British secrets”, although
this little study is one of the first steps to correcting for this (with your
help!)
