Are you tired of waiting for the government, your organization, or someone else to finally fix the gender pay gap? Do you feel like you are producing far more than you are being paid? Are you leaving money on the table?

Negotiation is the most important tool in a woman’s toolbox, professionally and personally. Your career success depends on your ability to negotiate for yourself and your organization. Negotiating a job offer is the most important conversation to the success of your career, yet only 12.5% of women negotiate salary when offered a job. When they do negotiate, many ask for and expect 30% less than men. Under-earning in any job is a recipe for discontent.

It’s time to Amplify Your Ask!

In this engaging and practical presentation, you will discover:

• The REAL cost to your career of not negotiating a job offer
• How to amplify your ask so you maximize your opportunity to get more of what you crave and deserve
• The 5 Cs of authentic negotiation that set you up for success in your professional life and career
• Practical strategies that you can do right now to stop under-earning, get noticed and start getting paid what you’re worth!!
