Negotiate for the Compensation You Deserve

This workshop will enable you to feel confident in asking for the compensation you deserve. We'll guide you through the entire processโ€”from navigating conversations with leadership about salary increases to understanding critical details before signing a new employment contract. Plus, we'll highlight common negotiation pitfalls and how to avoid them. We leave time for group discussion and Q&A to ensure all your questions are answered.


Key takeaways include:

  • All the elements of compensation & benefits that are negotiable (beyond salary).
  • How compensation decisions are made within employers.
  • What you should and shouldn't use as rationale for a pay increase.
  • The biases women face in negotiations, and how to work around them.
  • When you should be bringing up compensation, and how to frame the ask in a positive & confident manner.
