Negotiating with success is important for all aspects of life. Successful negotiating can get you the right salary, promotion or business deal. It is also vital in buying and selling a house or working on a local community group. Women have been historically treated differently in negotiations and understanding these differences will help you best reach your goals. This class explores the differences in negotiating style and perceptions for women. It also highlights key tactics and skills for successful negotiations.

We will discuss: how to work with and around the traits usually attributed to women, how to prepare for an agreement to ensure that you are in control of any negotiation, and how to recognize and avoid the most common pitfalls in negotiations
