While opportunities to negotiate exist everyday, women frequently avoid them.  As a consequence, creative solutions to problems may remain unexplored, and important needs may continue to be unfulfilled.  The Leadership, Negotiation and Gender forum examines many of the special challenges and constraints that women experience in initiating personal or professional negotiations.  Participants will learn new tactics, backed by years of research, which will help them to maximize bargaining power. By viewing negotiation from a mindset of confidence rather than of fear, women can be far more successful in communicating concerns and achieving appropriate, satisfying results.
