Event Description
Negotiation isn't just about salary. It's about advocating for yourself every day.
Whether you're asking for a promotion, setting boundaries, negotiating workload, managing client expectations, or speaking up in meetings, self-advocacy is a critical leadership skill. Yet many women hesitate because of self-doubt, fear of being perceived negatively, or uncertainty about how to ask.
In this interactive workshop, you'll learn practical strategies to negotiate with confidence, communicate your value, and advocate for yourself without sacrificing authenticity or relationships. Through reflection, discussion, and real-life practice, you'll leave with tools you can immediately apply in your career and life.
- Practical strategies to advocate for themselves with confidence in everyday workplace conversations.
- Tools to overcome self-doubt and communicate their value clearly and professionally.
- A simple framework for negotiating promotions, workload, compensation, boundaries, and other high-stakes conversations.
- Greater confidence using assertive communication while maintaining strong relationships.
- An action plan for one real conversation they can confidently navigate after the workshop.
