Negotiation Workshop at AlphaLab Gear
September 16, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Overview
Research has shown that men tend to achieve better economic results in negotiation than women. This can impact salary, rates of promotion, resources needed to ‘get the job done’, etc. Redchair is hosting a hands-on negotiation workshop for mid-career female technology professionals to help them use proven negotiation skills and approaches and narrow the gender negotiation gap.
What to expect: This workshop will help participants articulate their value and negotiate effectively. Topics covered include:
- Strategies for claiming and creating value in negotiations
- How to effectively prepare for a negotiation
- How to avoid common negotiation traps
- Helpful phrases and questions to use in negotiations
