Negotiation and Awareness, November 12, 2016

I look forward to joining the class for our final session on Saturday, November 12, 2016, in Alter 239.

Mr. Ryan Luzak, MBA, of Booz Allen Hamilton, will be joining us to give insight on modes of awareness. Ryan leads the Human Capital Functional Community in multiple Mid-Atlantic offices, with more than 50 practitioners working on project teams in a wide variety of client organizations, including Navy, Marine Corps, NATO, Military Intelligence, and Cyber commands. A former Navy Lieutenant, Ryan is a graduate of the US Naval Academy and earned his MBA at the College of William and Mary. He is someone you will want to meet, hear from, and know!

I am looking forward to our session on Saturday, October 8, in Alter Room 239. Lunch will be served and some vegetarian sandwiches have been included!

We expected to have a guest lecture, Mr. Ryan Luzak, MBA, from Booz Allen. However, the impending hurricane has necessitated Ryan’s staying close to home, so we are rescheduling his lecture to our November class. This Saturday we will delve into self awareness and begin our work on negotiation. It will be an interesting class.

See you then.
