Based on their hugely popular session last year, we have brought Lusen back for a more in-depth discussion on how to negotiate for what you want!

Many candidates avoid negotiating job offers. Whether because negotiation is considered taboo and we’re socialized against it, or we’re afraid of offers getting rescinded and managers thinking we’re difficult, we hold ourselves back.

The truth is that negotiation is an expected and important part of creating healthy employment relationships -- not to mention that negotiation can impact future earnings and pay equality.

This talk explains both a strategy for negotiation, as well as a dozen specific phrases to use in different situations.
- What do you say when asked what you would like to earn?
- How do you counter a low offer that you secretly would accept?
- How do you ask for more without introducing risk?
- Can you do all of this politely while still being effective?
Yes!

You’ll walk away from this talk with a specific plan for your next negotiation, and the confidence to advocate for yourself and feel good about your work relationships.
