Be a Great Negotiator with Kathryn Valentine

Kick it Open - The Muriel Network Podcast

This episode starts with host Shelby Nicholl reading a text from a friend who reminded her that negotiation is a key skill for women in the workplace...and one that is often looked at with anxiety. Yet, as guest Kathryn Valentine proves, we women are amazing negotiators! Here's the text message that sets this episode into motion:
"Before I had Elin, a friend said to me, your entire life will be a negotiation from here on out. Think about what we do when we negotiate w a toddler or god forbid a teenager - women are uniquely positioned to actually be rockstars at negotiation if they just lean into what they do ALL the time, with our realizing it. The same fundamentals apply - figure out what is important to the other party (whether it be a lollipop or a funded project) and trade for it, body language (the mom glare anyone??) and the silence is legit one of the most impactful ways to gain leverage to just name a few. Rock your work life like you run the hell out of a household and you'll be fine."

During the ep, Kathryn Valentine, CEO of Worth More Strategies, shares her wealth of experience, including personal anecdotes and the academic research findings that reveal how traditional negotiation advice fails women.
We delve into the dynamics of gender in negotiation, spotlighting how women can excel, especially when advocating for others. Discover how to use a holistic negotiation strategy to enhance impact and alleviate burnout. Kathryn also offers a reframe of stress and non-promotable tasks that will change your perspective on why you SHOULD ask for resources at work.
