Ask For It: Negotiation Workshop (Virtual) May

Salary negotiation. Negotiation of contracts. Negotiation of any kind. With any colleague, in any situation. Anytime.

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.

Our process identifies the unique, inspiring and powerful value you bring to your work, and uses that value and helpful data to begin your negotiations. While negotiation is in some cases about money, it's also about recognition, and we'll think about both. We bring together tools and skills gathered from across the nonprofit world and from feminist negotiators, from the business world and from advocates who engage in negotiation with Fortune-500 companies, major universities, and social change efforts, all grounded in data.

​

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.

Who is this for?

This is for everyone. Everyone deserves the opportunity to improve and polish their negotiation skills, and to develop their capacity to identify and articulate their value. It's also ideal…

• If you're searching for a new position and want to make sure your negotiation skills position you to your best advantage
• If you are negotiating a new contract (in a current or new role) or moving into a new position and negotiating terms
• If you'll be serving as a mediator or negotiator for others
• If you supervise others who will be negotiating and you'd like to support them
• If you recognize that negotiation is a vital tool in your work and you're looking to improve overall

We happen to think this is great for everyone. But we're biased!!
