Event Details
In any negotiation, professional or personal, knowing what outcome you want is essential for negotiating effectively. But what happens when you face internal conflict about what you want? How do you determine which interests are most important to you and hold onto those in the midst of a negotiation?
During this webinar, Dr. Renée Kathawalla, a visiting Assistant Professor of Management at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, will delve into the tensions and unique dynamics that women often encounter when negotiating in various aspects of their personal and professional lives. She will offer insight on how to deal with internal conflict in the context of negotiations as well as how to navigate gender-related challenges pertaining to how women see themselves and how they are perceived by others in negotiations.
This session will cover:
• Highlights from the latest research on the unique challenges women face when negotiating
• A framework for understanding and dealing with internal conflict in negotiation
• Tools for uncovering and holding onto your priorities during a negotiation
