Workshop Description
Opportunities to negotiate for the things we want….a promotion, a new client, a business relationship, home responsibilities, a keynote presentation, a challenging and rewarding job, and the list goes on…exist every day. And yet, women often fail to recognize opportunities and ask for what they want.
When women are faced with navigating difficult conversations and solving problems, it often requires an effective negotiation or cooperative approach. However, women are plagued by anxiety when it comes to the thought of negotiating for what they want especially when it might impact a relationship or that a conflict might occur.
This 2-day workshop is for women who make decisions every day in their personal lives, small businesses, or their work. They want to learn how to recognize opportunities, cross barriers and negotiate effectively for the things they want and to address the potential conflict that might arise from these conversations.
Workshop Objectives:
Women and Negotiation: Ask…Negotiate…Succeed!
Future Dates to be Announced. Stay Tuned!
This facilitated study group is intended to help women explore their own personal challenges and the barriers to asking for what they want…what they need…and what they deserve. Each of the 4 sessions is 1 ½ hours in length. Participants will be required to purchase and read the book “Women Don’t Ask” by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever.
These sessions help women raise their self-awareness, give opportunities to practice, and develop a personal strategy for negotiation. The women’s study group is intended for business owners, leaders, executives, and women who want more in their life by simply asking for what they need.

I have recently attended and completed a study group with Pattie Porter. She is very adept at reading our needs and receptive to fulfiling them. Her manner is that of a coordinator, motivator and mentor. It is done with a fervor for conveying the knowledge we needed.
I left with a new sense of confidence and optimism for my future. The warmth of the class allowed us to make new connections and friendships. This is a class that both genders would be gratified that they had participated.
Pattie's knowledge is broad, encompassing the entire field of conflict and negotiation in all its forms and categories.
Thank you, Len Wheeler
