> "Women Don't Ask" - Wednesday 12th March 2008 @ 6pm

> When Linda Babcock, a professor at a US university, asked why so many 
> male graduate students were teaching their own courses and most female 
> students were assigned as assistants, her dean said:
> "More men ask. The women just don't ask."
>
>
> It turns out that whether they want higher salaries or more help at 
> home, women often find it hard to ask. Sometimes they don't know that 
> change is possible. Sometimes they fear that asking may damage a 
> relationship. And sometimes they don't ask because they've learned 
> that society can react badly to women asserting their own needs and 
> desires.

> Everything these days is negotiable! Every relationship - with your 
> manager, colleagues, peer or direct report, partner, hairdresser, 
> accountant, car mechanic, sibling, child or parent - is made up of 
> daily, weekly and yearly negotiations. Therefore, learning how to 
> negotiate effectively is a core life skill.
>
> In this evening interactive session, you will learn:
>
> How to manage any emotional upset you may have over having to 
> negotiate on your own behalf.
> How to identify your most common stumbling block and to pay attention 
> to acts of self-sabotage.
> How to negotiate from a position of power (Power of Ideas, Power of 
> Person).
> How to use the W.H.A.T. technique.
> How to make proposals that "get heard".
> Michelle Brailsford has been able to apply her considerable blue- chip 
> experience, gained in a wide variety of human resource roles, to make 
> a real impact on the people side of her clients'
> businesses. She has worked as an internal and external organisational 
> consultant, trainer and manager. Michelle focuses on employee 
> relationship management and is passionate about engaging employees 
> through her innovative approach. Her strengths lie in listening to her 
> intuition (which is usually right on target!), being able to simplify 
> complex issues, working collaboratively and bringing creative, fun and 
> pragmatic solutions to the table.
>
> Michelle has consulted across various industries in both the US and 
> Europe and holds a master's degree in organisational behaviour. For
