It's on our minds always. Are we getting what we need?  Are we recognized and appreciated? Are we underpaid, underappreciated, undervalued, and passed over?

When it comes time to speak up for yourself and to negotiate, the biases that affect women and non-binary people in the workplace often become starkly visible and may stop you from speaking with your full voice. Those biases–the ones that have led to the glass ceiling, the gender wage gap, the broken leadership pipeline or career rung– are still everyday shaping the way you work. It’s time to negotiate. It’s time to use your voice. 

Negotiation isn’t just about earning more. It’s about shifting the way you navigate your workplace and your work relationships, too. By negotiating, you will uncover a whole host of other benefits. If you learn to proactively navigate your career and negotiate your salary, there are a host of other benefits, from demonstrating your value to others, amplifying your voice and increasing your impact, too. Now is the time to notice gender bias and implicit bias, to use what you’ve noticed and shift the way you negotiate, all while strengthening your confidence that you bring unique value to our work and to our field.
