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!!

E.A.R.N. Your Worth ™ is a powerful framework incorporating real stories that inspire and real strategies for success in your next negotiation.

Workshop Facilitator: Carrie Gallant

Carrie inspires and empowers women to think bigger, negotiate more powerfully ad authentically, and to “Amplify Your Ask” so you can increase your influence, impact, and income for your career.

She is the founder of The Gallant Leader Institute and creator of E.A.R.N. Your Worth and The Art of Negotiation for Women workshops. She brings her experience as a former executive, practicing lawyer, and adjunct law professor to help her clients master the art and science of negotiation, influence, and critical conversations that are required in the boardroom and beyond.

MNP Digital sponsored event

In 2019, Cybercrime Magazine concluded that women make approximately 20% of the global Information Security payrolls. The magazine also predicts that cybercrime will have an economic cost of $6 trillion by 2024. The shortfall in cybersecurity staffing will be 3.5 million people by 2023.

One troubling element of this shortage is that the gap could be substantially closed if one segment of the population were proportionately represented in the industry — women.

Join us for this interesting panel discussion on what it means to be a woman in cybersecurity and also, what are the challenges for employers that are trying to recruit women in the field. Four industry experts working in cyber security have been invited to speak about their experiences working in Cyber Security. They will share their career paths, challenges faced, and offer advice on ways they were able to advance their careers. We invite you to join us on this special night!
