Keynote Presentations

The principals of Negotiating Woman are available for inspirational keynote presentations on a variety of topics, to inspire your women employees at all levels.

Recently, we have done a number of sessions for women in organizations and their clients.

Past corporate keynote presentation topics include:

• Her Place at the Table: Negotiating What Matters
  Research suggests that women are excellent at negotiating for others.  They are not as good at negotiating for themselves.  Yet, it is clear that regardless of how you define career success, you must proactively advocate for what you want in order to realize your aspirations. Hear about the “The Tiara Syndrome” – and why falling victim to it is a career limiting move, “drive-by” negotiations and how they can hurt you as well as ways to avoid “V-8″ moments that can haunt you!
• Inspiration for Negotiation Success
  The secrets to negotiating successfully -  believing that you can be successful, being proactive and being well prepared are the three keys to getting great outcomes. Hear about women who took charge of their careers- and their lives – using negotiation as the way to shape their futures.
• Living and Leaving Your Legacy
  Whether you are just starting a career or thinking about winding down, it’s important to think about how you can make an impact every day — and how you will be remembered when it’s time to move on. Hear stories about women who have changed minds and hearts through their work; they’ll inspire you to make a difference for others.

Customized Workshops

Negotiating Women offers a variety of training workshops that are case-based, interactive and dynamic. We develop customized cases that reflect actual situations your organization’s women confront at work.

Workshops can be adapted to accommodate groups of varying size and levels of professional experience. Sessions can be delivered in person or via Webcast and in half-day or full-day formats. In-depth executive programs are available for senior women.

Using a proven Train-the-Trainer process, we can also prepare and certify your staff to deliver these workshops.

Learn more about our workshop topics:

• Her Place at the Table: Negotiating Conditions for Leadership Success
  Many women fail to recognize opportunities to negotiate — about their roles, about the support they need to be successful, about the resources to get the job done, about buy-in from their peers and those they lead. Our advice draws on interviews conducted with over 100 women leaders and illuminates the actions a woman can take to thrive in today’s workplace.Become empowered to negotiate for what you need to create the conditions for your career success.
• The Shadow Negotiation: It’s Not Just About the “Issues”[1]
  Every day, women face situations that require using negotiation skills as a way to get things done in the workplace – resolving conflict and reaching agreement about things both large and small.  Focusing exclusively on the “issues”, however, can lead to disastrous results ? the personalities matter too!This workshop offers a practical approach to deal with both the issues and to manage the interpersonal dynamics that can prevent people from getting to “yes!”
• Building Business Relationships: Negotiating Successfully with Prospects and Clients
  The ability to negotiate effectively with both prospective and current clients is a critical competency for women in business. Yet, many women struggle with finding the right balance ? strengthening the client relationship without sacrificing the firm’s bottom line.  Those who can craft “win-win” solutions are uniquely poised to contribute to the firm (and to enjoy the fruits of their success!).  Learn how to negotiate more successfully with the prospects and clients in your life.
• Paving the Way – a workshop for leaders (both men and women)
  Each time a woman is appointed to lead and doesn’t reach her full potential because of a lack of institutional support, businesses waste precious resources. These failures lead to frustration on the part of the institution and for both male and female employees.This workshop offers a framework to understand the ways gender manifests itself in the workplace including an overview of the special tests reserved just for women, data to understand the ways the testing manifests itself as a component of the company’s culture and an awareness of the behaviors needed to support change at the individual and group levels

Our workshops have received Continuing Legal Education (CLE) and Continuing Professional Education (CPE) certification in a number of states. Ask us for more information.
