Strong Women/Strategic Performance: Negotiation for Women
Many
women feel competent and powerful in their area of expertise.
However, when entering into a negotiation, some begin to feel as if they are playing in a game where
they don’t know the rules.
This workshop provides participants with skills to succeed in accomplishing their goals in challenging
interpersonal situations.
Participants will be introduced to techniques synthesized from negotiation, leadership and theater
training to help them be more effective.
They will learn how to articulate a clear purpose, think tactically, land their message, be heard,
enhance personal presence, manage hot moments, and use alliances politically.
Participants will leave with a superior sense of how to think strategically about their professional
opportunities – and act with success.Leading Change: Strategies for Women

The goal of this workshop is to increase the capabilities of powerful women to effect change within
their organization.
Participants will learn how to differentiate types of challenges, understand how roles determine
strategies, identify the pressures behind the resistance to change, and learn how to make effective
interventions.
Participants will leave with new strategies — theoretical, psychological, and physical — for
successfully leading change in their institution or organization.
