It Pays to Ask: Negotiating in Difficult Times

April 28, 2009 to April 29, 2009

Women negotiate all the time. Although we associate negotiation with formal agreements and contracts, the most important negotiations occur in the everyday work we do in our organizations. Every day, women negotiate on the job—for a plum assignment, a new client, credit for work, more time or more money. How we fare depends on whether we can take advantage of opportunities to negotiate. Join negotiation expert Dr. Deborah Kolb for this career-changing workshop where you will gain the skills and confidence to negotiate what you need to succeed in your work. Women who negotiate effectively report that they gain more leadership opportunities, better performance reviews and more satisfaction with their jobs. Learn how to negotiate for your leadership success.
