NCTU Negotiation Workshop 2014
Austin (USA)
I think that Vera’s negotiation seminar was one of the best seminars of this class.
Many of the seminars we had were full of information, but it was sometimes difficult to articulate what it was exactly that we got from them.
However, this was not the case this time; we came away with handouts and videos detailing concrete steps that we could take to become more effective communicators and negotiators. I will definitely take the knowledge that I obtained during this seminar and use it in the future.

This three-week negotiation workshop has enlightened and improved my negotiation skills in preparation to my future endeavor.
Heartfelt gratitude to Vera for her time and effort, she is one to learn from and I admire her energy.

… I think one of the key learning’s for me is to question more often my goals (and the goals of my counterpart) when I am about to make a compromise. So far I felt like compromising is by far the most efficient way of handling a conflict. Vera proved me wrong. As a result, I would like to say thank you again for this entertaining and thoughtful workshop.

It has been 3 weeks of negotiation workshop with Mrs. Vera and I had very memorable and fruitful experiences of exploring myself. … By conducting activities in groups and getting us involved in practical and theoretical way simultaneously, Mrs. Vera has taught me more insights than any textbooks. I like the way she emphasizes key words and provided us visual teaching materials which kept me awake and excited throughout the 3-hour sessions.
Furthermore, with her experiences of living abroad for more than 20 years, I was impressed by the way she dealt with culture shocks and differences. I think one of her adjusting tactics comes from communication. It diminished the gaps and helped her quickly get used to new things. She has inspired me that by adopting and honing negotiation skills, I can pursue my dream of working for multinational corporations and experiencing different ranges of cultures and countries. Thanks Ms. Vera for all of your effort and inspiration!

I have learnt a lot from Vera because her course content is rich. She is always well prepared and has excellent teaching skills and passion.
The most touching part is that she always understands difficulties and barriers learners are facing. And she helps learners to overcome these obstacles.

In Vera's class, you can gain not only better English skills, but also the philosophy how to create a win-win situation. Her brain is like a treasure chest with excellent English-teaching skills and German detail-orientation.

I’ve learnt a lot from Vera not only about business English skills, but also the mindset and attitude towards overcoming difficulties on the way we learn English. It takes time to become good, better, and great, but Vera is always organized and patient to deliver the material which helped us to learn English much easier and with fun. That’s very important when you’re learning something new. Therefore, give you and Vera a chance to start the journey on English learning, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the scenery on the way!
