Negotiating As A Women? What You Need to Know.
Women’s Day Breakfast Hosted by Fulton Hogan
“Women who negotiate in business not only create value for themselves, but they also pave the way for the women who follow.”
In today’s competitive business environment, negotiation is not just a skill—it’s a necessity. But for women, navigating the complexities of negotiation often comes with unique challenges. Whether you’re negotiating internally within your organisation, advocating for yourself in conversations with leadership, or dealing with dominant personalities, the ability to negotiate effectively can be the key to unlocking your full potential.
Our "Negotiation Skills for Women" Keynotes, Training courses and Workshops are designed specifically to empower women with the tools, strategies, and confidence needed to excel in any negotiation scenario. From securing promotions and raises, to driving organisational change and negotiating with challenging counterparts, this program is tailored to help you succeed.
Why Do Women Need Tailored Negotiation Training?
Research has shown that women often face distinct challenges in negotiation settings. Societal expectations, unconscious biases, and the fear of being perceived as too aggressive, or too passive, can all influence the outcomes of negotiations. Women are often conditioned to avoid conflict, which can lead to missed opportunities or less favourable outcomes.
Our program addresses these challenges head-on, offering practical solutions and strategies that are grounded in research and proven through experience. By focusing on the unique dynamics that women face, we help you turn these challenges into opportunities for growth and success.
Key Areas of Focus in the Program
-
Navigating office politics and advocating for yourself within your organisation can be daunting. Whether you’re pushing for a project, securing resources, or striving for a promotion, our program equips you with the skills to articulate your value and negotiate with confidence. We provide strategies for dealing with peers, subordinates, and senior management, ensuring that your voice is heard and your contributions are recognised.
-
Negotiating with senior leaders, including CEOs and executives, requires a different approach. It’s not just about making a case for what you want, but also about understanding the broader organisational goals and aligning your requests with them. Our program teaches you how to build influence, present your case effectively, and negotiate in a way that resonates with top decision-makers.
-
One researched gap between men and women is the propensity to recognise opportunities for negotiation. In this program we will explore proactive ways to seek promotion, progress and network building. We will reflect on our goals and hesitations, and adopt an early planning mindset for negotiation success.
