Prestigious academic post-graduate programmes
Ninety percent of our activities are delivered internally for junior-mid-senior level professionals, with the remaining provided through prestigious post-graduate university programmes and open-registration masterclasses in Brussels.
Our Mission
We equip and empower national and institutional public servants, diplomats, civil society and business professionals with the competence, skills and techniques to effectively influence bilateral and multi-party negotiated results, and experience greater “real world” success.
We promote and deliver highly customised experiential and integrative negotiation training experiences to achieve efficient process management, joint decision-making, effective implementation and peaceful resolution of issues.
We transpose the best negotiation, meeting, chairing and mediation theories into personalised action plans aligned to intercultural and institutional workplace realities.
Our Commitment
We respect and build on diversity of all sorts. There is no one-way to negotiate: there is you and others and you will learn how to improve immediately.
We empower you: coaching and mentoring are essential parts of CENAD’s DNA. We are a team of devoted negotiation and training experts constantly sharing our myriad experiences to provide personal and individual support and counsel to participants.
We honour confidentiality, trust and respect as the foundations of our work and personal ethics. Each consultancy is always conducted in accordance with theses values in the most respectful and diplomatic manner possible.
