What successful negotiators do differently | Kathryn Valentine

About this episode

Kathryn Valentine discusses the gender dynamics in workplace negotiations and offers strategies for success.

Studies show that women negotiate just as frequently as men — so why do they succeed half as often? With wit and humor, business consultant Kathryn Valentine unpacks the gender expectations of workplace negotiations, offering a clear equation for anyone looking to make a successful ask and get what they want. After the talk, Modupe shares what she's doing to help the people in her life practice negotiating more—and how you can do too.
