Negotiation is an essential skill for getting what you want in your career and in your life. While we understand its importance, the idea of promoting ourselves often feels uncomfortable. Besides, shouldn’t proving we can succeed in a position be enough to get promoted into it? Studies have shown that men tend to get promoted based on their perceived potential while women are promoted after proving they can do it. This “potential vs. performance” obstacle is often the result of unconscious gender bias. In this engaging presentation you will gain new insights and understandings about how to negotiate effectively (and authentically) on your own behalf and break the cycle of the ‘potential vs. performance’ roadblock.
