Negotiating as Women: Nontraditional Settings and Successes June 9, 2010

Back by popular demand, we're repeating our Negotiating as Women discussion.

Whether you work in corporate, non-profit, start-up, or from home, negotiating is a part of your life. Mastering the art of negotiation has unique twists for women. What specific and significant challenges do you have to deal with in order to negotiate successfully in the business world and otherwise?

Join us for an informative and experiential session to gain insights and tips for being more skillful and confident as a woman negotiator in any aspect of your professional life.

Specific topics to be discussed will include:
- Getting "under the surface" to understand the fears and motivators of all parties at the negotiating table in order to arrive at a positive outcome for both sides
- Locating and using your strengths to your advantage
- Knowing "hard" versus "soft" negotiating techniques and when and how to use them
- Finding support and resources specifically for women in business
- Guiding principles to live by in any negotiation

How do YOU negotiate, in business or in your personal life? Bring an experience to tell!
