Advanced Negotiation Skills: For Educators and Organizers

Negotiation doesn’t stop at the dungeon door. In this class, educator and consultant Devyn Stone explores the nuanced art of negotiating between presenters and event producers. We’ll cover accessibility needs, compensation structures, boundaries, and realistic compromise—all through the lens of ethical professionalism and mutual respect. Designed for both educators refining their contracts and organizers developing fair practices, this class offers practical tools and insights for smoother collaborations and sustainable community relationships. Because in the world of kink education, negotiation is a skill that never stops evolving.
