Negotiation is not just about compensation – it is a core leadership capability that shapes influence, visibility, and career progression. At the mid-career stage, many of the most important negotiation moments go unrecognized. This session explores how gender dynamics intersect with these moments and offers practical strategies to help women and allies navigate with clarity and confidence. Participants will gain actionable insights to negotiate more effectively, lead more visibly, and intentionally shape their career trajectory.
