Research suggests that 20% of women never negotiate at all. A woman who doesn’t negotiate her starting salary upon graduation will forgo an average of $7,000 the first year, and will lose between $650,000 and $1 million over the course of a 45-year career. Can you believe it?

Why would anyone want to leave that kind of money on the table?

Negotiation comes into play throughout one’s entire life. Buying a car. Winning a contract. Getting a much-deserved salary increase. Learning to negotiate literally pays off and the sooner you learn to do it with confidence, the better.

This All-Star line-up of top negotiation performers will give you insights on how to adjust your preparation, your delivery and your “negotiation speak” to win more opportunities for YOU:
