The talk will cover:
- Negotiation principles and what difference does it make as a woman
- Importance of the development negotiation skills as a tool in our business/industry/positions as lawyers representing clients
- Negotiation shows up everywhere – strategic thinking and negotiation skills improve our results for clients, but also for our own career development, our ability to move into leadership positions, understanding our own power and leverage, even managing home/kids/medical issues/political issues etc.

Her book, keynotes, workshops, and virtual courses are designed to teach negotiation and communication skills required to navigate any scenario, at work or at home, using proven, strategic frameworks and actionable advice.
