✨We had the pleasure of hosting an enlightening negotiation session led by Christiane Stein.  Here are some key takeaways from our session: 1️⃣𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐊𝐞𝐲 Build a "brag file" of achievements and positive feedback. Evidence strengthens your ask and boosts your confidence. Be ready to state your value clearly and assertively! 2️⃣𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 Approach your ask with confidence. Avoid apologetic or tentative language—state your goals clearly and allow room for a response without adjusting your stance prematurely. 3️⃣𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐯𝐬. 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭-𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Look beyond fixed positions and focus on the underlying interests. By understanding both your own needs and those of the other party, you can create collaborative solutions that meet everyone’s core interests. 4️⃣𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 “𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐫𝐠𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬” Anticipate common objections, like “That’s beyond our budget” or “We don’t offer that.” Having well-prepared counterpoints and alternatives will keep the conversation productive and open. 5️⃣𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲 Consider aspects beyond pay – flexibility, growth opportunities, time off, or other benefits. A holistic approach ensures you’re negotiating for true career satisfaction. Thank you to everyone who participated, and a big shoutout to Christiane Stein for sharing such valuable insights!

But here’s the good news: recent research by Einav Hart, Julia Bear, and Zhiying (Bella) Ren shows that these fears are often exaggerated. 🔍 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: 💡Candidates tend to overestimate the risk of losing an offer by negotiating. In fact, 94% of offers are upheld, and most managers have never rescinded an offer (according to a survey of 1,496 managers). 💡Managers view negotiations more positively than candidates realize. They see it as an opportunity for mutual benefit, not a zero-sum game. 💡Many candidates avoid negotiating because they feel they have less power in the conversation, but research shows managers are often open to reasonable requests. 𝐒𝐨, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠? ✅ Reframe the conversation: Focus on win-win solutions that benefit both you and the company. ✅ Do your research: Understand the norms in your industry and talk to mentors or colleagues. ✅ Be professional and reasonable: Show cooperation while negotiating for what matters to you.
