Negotiation For Women

This presentation is based on Dr. Yasmin Davidds  bestselling book Your Own Terms: A Woman’s Guide to Taking Charge of Any Negotiation. 

When women negotiate, to what degree should they disclose what they hope to receive from the negotiation, and how should they go about revealing their desires?

The answer to a great extent depends on the type of person they are negotiating with and how they wish the other to perceive them.

In order for women to position themselves properly in any negotiation, they must learn to identify and adapt to their counterpart’s negotiation style.

Learn to:

• Identify their own negotiation style
• Identify other peoples’ negotiation styles
• Position themselves for a win-win outcome

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.

Presenter: Dr. Yasmin Davidds, PSY.D.
