An example of a negotiation is provided in the Webilography (https://youtu.be/kjF4rKCR81o) and is entitled: Classic Sesame Street: Ernie and Bert Can't Communicate. Determine the kind of listening skills used in the interaction of your chosen negotiation.

Make sure you clearly articulate your chosen negotiation and thoroughly explain each section in your paper. Apply current APA standards for writing style to your work and cite at least 2 references (one of which may be your text book) in your paper.
