2024 Women in Leadership Series
Mastering the Art of Negotiation
- September 24
- 11:00 am - 1:30 pm ET
- Online
We all must negotiate in daily life – be it with family in a private setting or in the business world. Your success depends on the ability to negotiate well. If you want to realize your aspirations, you must advocate for yourself.
There are different ways to negotiate in different situations, each requiring unique psychological aspects. Research shows that women are excellent at negotiating for others—but not always as good at negotiating for themselves.
Learn how to put yourself in a winning position and avoid dynamics that prevent people from getting to “yes.”
If you want to realize your aspirations, you must advocate for yourself.

AGENDA
11:00 am – Noon
Be Your Own Best Advocate – Science-based Strategies for Women in Negotiation
Featuring Alison Fragale
An overwhelming body of evidence suggests that, relative to men, women can face challenges at every stage of the negotiation process. The good news is that none of these challenges are rooted in biology or personality. Women can negotiate as effectively as men; they just need to employ different strategies. In this enlightening session, Alison will discuss the science of gender at the bargaining table, the false assumptions women make about advocating for themselves, and research-based strategies for correcting these assumptions and being a confident advocate for your own interest.

As a behavioral scientist, a negotiation expert, and a woman with a long career history in male-dominated fields, Alison speaks from the head and the heart in a session that will explore:
- How and why women can be disadvantaged in negotiations.
- How you should prepare for a negotiation, whether it’s about money, expectations, or a disagreement.
- How to build trust and rapport at the outset of a negotiation.
- Negotiation strategies for women that produce results and build relationships.
Noon – 12:50 pm
How Personalities and Communication Styles Impact Negotiations – And How to Deal With Them
Featuring Ana Dutra
Most negotiations “best practices” and advice focus on processes, structure and outcome trade-offs. And yet, we neglect the most important portion of any negotiation: the deep understanding of all the stakeholder’s personality, communication style, values and motives. In this session, Ana will break down the main characters you will encounter in any type of negotiation, from the Egotistical, to the Pleaser, to the Coward. Why do they behave the way they do? How do you recognize them? And what are the most effective ways to deal with them?

Learning the answers to these questions can drive life-changing outcomes across a range of professional and personal situations:
- Hiring or being hired
- Promotions, bonuses, and compensation discussions
- Business deals with clients and partners
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Severance packages
The character profiles are sure to entertain participants, but the content will also be highly informative, data-driven, and backed by research. Ana has conducted hundreds of 360 evaluations throughout her 30-year career, helping leaders uncover their strong points and areas for improvement, as well as assess their personalities and work styles.
12:50 – 1:30 pm
