Negotiation Strategies for Women:
Video 1: How women lose money throughout their careers
  • Women are less likely than their male counterparts to ask for more money. Over the course of a long career, the loss of potential income can be staggering.
Video 2: Why interests are important
  • It’s not all about you in a negotiation. When you understand the other side’s perspective, it can help you more easily achieve a win-win solution.
Video 3: All about BATNA
  • What is your worst-case scenario? Your BATNA is your fall-back option, and it gives you the power to walk away.
Video 4: Your BATNA as a tool
  • Your BATNA is one of your most important tools because it helps you frame your opening offer and understand when to stop negotiating.
Video 5: What do you do with an "exploding offer?"
  • Being in the midst of the interview process at one company while sitting on a time-sensitive offer elsewhere can be tricky. The solution? Honesty.
