WOMEN AND NEGOTIATION: GET WHAT YOU WANT

2-Day Training

In this Decision-Making training, based on research from cognitive psychology, attendees will:

  • be taught the value of their worth
  • learn different negotiating personalities
  • remove psychological barriers to negotiate for what they want
  • gain awareness of their underlying needs, and
  • identify mutual interests for a “win-win” outcome that creates value for all

Men negotiate 58.8% of the time, while women negotiate only 16.7% of the time. Only 12.5 % of women with Masters degrees negotiate their salaries while 51.5 of men do. Women ask for what they want only 3% of the time, while men ask 23% of the time. Women are typically prescribed roles to take care of others before they take care of themselves, and are expected to see things from others’ perspectives. Negotiation is problem solving. Attendees will learn that the goal is not to get a deal; the goal is to get a good deal that benefits their counterparts, team, and organization.
