Women approach negotiating very differently, and A Woman's Guide to Successful Negotiating is the practical, easy-to-use guide that will show you how to use your own style to get what you want--without giving up who you are.
Whether you're negotiating with your boss for that raise you deserve, with world leaders to establish peace, or simply with your husband over what car to buy, this book will teach you how to: Walk away--so you won't be walked all over Avoid the 10 most common mistakes women make when negotiating Build confidence and stay out of the empathy trap Stand your ground against even the most aggressive male negotiators And much more!
As you embrace and adopt the real-life strategies, tactics, and techniques offered here, you'll gain the competitive edge you need to negotiate in every aspect of your life--so you can get what you want while still honoring your spirit.
