Workshops

 

Learn how to research your target salary, highlight your accomplishments and find the right words — and the confidence — to negotiate for better benefits and pay. Sign up for a free, facilitator-guided workshop today! Negotiating increases your potential to earn more — and can make the difference for paying off loans, supporting your family, buying what you want and need and saving for the future. 

  • One year out of college, women are already paid significantly less than men. 
  • The gap grows larger over time during a woman’s career. 
  • Women who work full time take home about 83 cents for every dollar a full-time male worker is paid. 
  • Unless things change, the pay gap will not close until 2106 — that’s why we’re empowering women nation-wide with salary negotiation skills — and working to change polices and employer culture.
