Executive Assistants negotiate all day long.
Diary space. Priorities. Deadlines. Budgets. Competing demands. Other people's expectations.
But when it comes to negotiating our own salary?
Suddenly we're not quite so comfortable.
So we thought we'd bring in someone who knows rather a lot about negotiation.
I'm in! Sign me up

One of the most frustrating things about salary negotiation is that being excellent at your job doesn't automatically mean someone will offer to pay you more.
Sometimes you have to ask. And that conversation is considerably easier when you've prepared for it.
This session is about understanding how good negotiation actually works.
How to prepare. How to communicate your position. How to listen. How to respond.
And how to advocate for yourself professionally when money is on the table.
