Women in Pharma ISPE D/A/CH

At the ISPE D/A/CH Future Leaders Days, we had the privilege of organizing a Women in Pharma Workshop, featuring an incredible session on negotiation led by the dynamic Vanessa Akpore. Vanessa’s insights on mastering the art of negotiation were not only practical but truly inspiring. She reminded us that negotiation is about confidence, clarity, and understanding your value—key skills that resonate across every professional journey. Here are a few takeaways that left us inspired: 
🔑 Know Your Worth: Confidence stems from preparation and understanding the unique value you bring. 
🗣️ Communicate Clearly: Clear, assertive communication is essential to achieving win-win outcomes. 
🤝 Collaborate, Don’t Compete: The best negotiations are built on mutual respect and shared goals. A huge thank you to Vanessa Akpore for her expertise and to ISPE for creating a platform where future leaders can grow, connect, and thrive. Let’s continue empowering each other and creating spaces where we all can succeed! #ISPEFutureLeaders #WomenInPharma #Leadership #NegotiationSkills #ProfessionalGrowth
