Negotiation Course for Executives | Ingemar Dierickx

Last week I had the pleasure to welcome Ingemar Dierickx once more time in Porto.

I have been working with Ingemar Dierickx for more than ten years.

I have had the privilege to organize and observe several of the workshops that Ingemar has run for many executives at Sonae (the number one retailer in Portugal, with two major partnerships in the telecommunications and shopping centers sectors).

Each time, I have been struck by the level of energy and enthusiasm of the participants during those workshops. Years later, former participants fondly recall anecdotes and key lessons learned and voice their admiration for Ingemar.

The results of these workshops are visible. I believe that part of the success of Sonae Group is due to Ingemar's teachings
