Negotiation | featured news

We're being told to become Uncle Toms, shucking and jiving our way through the workplace, fawning, ingratiating, smiling, flirting and de-meaning ourselves by pretending to be someone we're not - girls who dissemble and wheedle rather than women who command respect and negotiate the rewards that go with it.

In today’s business world, being a good negotiator can make a big difference in your career. Not only can it help you in your career, such as earning more money (by negotiating a raise), earning a higher title (by negotiating a promotion), or obtaining budget money (to take on a prominent project), but it can also help you in your personal life…such as agreeing on bedtimes with the kids or what show to watch on the television with your husband. How good of a negotiator are you??
