The Art of the Ask: Negotiating with Confidence
May 9, 2012
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Eastern

Women negotiate all day every day, often without even realizing they are in a bargaining situation. Whether the negotiation is a small, everyday matter, or a bigger, more structured deal, making the most of these conversations is imperative. Leveraging tips from her brand new book, PUSHBACK: How Smart Women Ask--and Stand Up--for What They Want, Selena Rezvani provided insight on how to:

• Prepare for a negotiation from both informational and emotional perspectives
• Flex your style based on the topic or person with whom you are negotiating
• Maneuver through negotiation using verbal and non-verbal communication, making concessions, and closing the deal

Selena received her bachelor of science and master of social work degrees from New York University, and has an MBA from Johns Hopkins University, where she was the recipient of the Edward Stegman Award for academic excellence. She lives near Philadelphia. For more information, visit: www.NextGenWomen.com or www.WomensRoadmap.com.
