Aside from his acting career, James Smurthwaite is an expert coach and communicator who has been working for companies such as L’Oréal, AXA or Disney. It is the fourth consecutive time he has offered a class at ESCI-UPF and every year changes a little bit. However, his classes are far from ordinary.
The students of the Master of Science in International Business (MScIB) had the chance to attend to James Smurthwaite’s lesson on effective communication skills for negotiation.
Smurthwaite likes to keep his students participative by involving them in the very own negotiations he brings to the class as a practice. In order to do that, a full hour is required for a proper warm-up and getting rid of the shyness. He is aware of the dangers of stage frights when it comes to negotiations, for which he blames four main factors:
Smurthwaite is currently working on a script for a TV series that will be set in Mallorca right after the Spanish Civil War, a conflict he finds quite interesting. When asked about the current issue between the Spanish government and Catalan independentists, he suggested dialogue as the most effective way for the resolution of any conflict. But no matter how complicated a discussion may seem, he believes that a good negotiator should always take the initiative and start the positive spiral.
