Negotiating for Success Workshop – April 30

Many women fail to recognize opportunities to negotiate — about their compensation and roles, about the support they need to be successful, about the resources to get the job done, and about buy-in from their peers and those they lead.

We are excited that Nancy Stapley, Vice President of BPW Calgary, will host the Negotiating for Success workshop for BPW Calgary members on Saturday, April 30 from 10 AM – 12 PM.

This session will draw attention to how women can proactively negotiate for conditions of personal and career success, and assess ways that women may be unknowingly undermining themselves.

In this workshop, we discuss how, by mastering a few basic principles, anyone can become an effective negotiator. In role plays on effective strategies for negotiation, as well as possible compensation pitfalls and how to avoid them, we will explore how women can remain authentic and maintain interpersonal relationships while maximizing the value of their negotiation.

To RSVP, please email info@BPWCalgary.com.
