Get What You Deserve: Valuing Your Value

Summary

Many of us often shy away from asking for more and better. More money. Better working arrangements. A larger team. Better access to resources. Whether a woman leader is negotiating a contract, lobbying for more resources or seeking a promotion - negotiation skills are imperative for success.

The ability to negotiate successfully in today's turbulent business climate can make the difference between success and failure.

This program provides women leaders with the tools and techniques they need to confidently negotiate for the resources they need to be successful in their careers and personal lives.
  • Develop the best strategies to prepare for a negotiation
  • Leverage your value and successfully achieve your goals
  • Present with ease and confidence during tough conversations

Program Highlights

Be prepared to aim high and feel confident in the best outcome

  • Good negotiating comes from a positive mindset: Master it
  • Overcome the negativity that holds you back and causes you to undersell yourself
  • Achieve better results with a compelling, self-assured presentation

Make your request and don’t settle for anything less than what you deserve

  • Be prepared to be assertive and challenge obstacles standing in your way (while remembering the differences between assertive and aggressive)
  • Express your side without anger, defensiveness or accusations
  • Don’t be so busy making your point heard that you forget to listen

Do your homework and have an actionable plan to get what you want

  • Doing your research and being prepared is vital for a successful negotiation
  • Understand both sides of the equation to make accurate, beneficial decisions
  • When you only focus on your own limitations, you miss the big picture

Question and Answer Session - Hear expert answers to real-world questions!

Program Benefits

Some of us are afraid to ask. Some of us do ask, but stop short of asking for what we really want or what we’re truly worth. But whatever your reason, I probably don’t have to tell you that, by not asking, you’re missing out on more than just money; you’re putting your long-term opportunities and earning potential at stake. If you’ve ever stopped or given up before negotiating your true market value, this training is for you.
