Negotiation Skills – Ask for What You Deserve!
Many women have difficulty negotiating without feeling overly aggressive. Worse, in an effort to be perceived as nice, women often give up our power by not asking for what we really want. Whether you are striving for your next promotion, salary increase or buy‐in for a new idea, good negotiation skills are critical to your success. Learn tips on preparing for negotiation, developing the courage to ask for what you want, knowing when to push and when to back off, building your credibility before and during a negotiation and when and how to get support from others in achieving your goals.

Getting Ahead in Your Career
Make a plan or someone else will make one for you. This was never truer than when it comes to your career advancement. Join us to learn how to define the professional trajectory that you want. We’ll cover the key elements to include in your plan, tips for negotiating development opportunities within your company and how to apply these strategies for moving forward with intention, purpose and control.
