Negotiation Workshop for Women
January 14, 2021
As attorneys, we excel at negotiating on behalf of others, but it is well documented that women tend to be less effective when negotiating to meet their own needs or for their own career success. In this interactive workshop facilitated by Professor Casandra Thomson, alumnae explored negotiation techniques through the lens of gender, and participants practiced their skills in small group exercises. They also discussed strategies to use when confronted with the gender-biased behavior that many women encounter in their negotiations. By the end of the workshop, participants were empowered with a toolkit to help them negotiate more effectively on behalf of themselves.
