Women's Networking Summit
Lead with Confidence: Mastering Difficult Conversations and High-Stakes Negotiations
Ninety per cent of a hard conversation happens before it starts. Behavioural scientist Lou Atkinson, PhD and conflict resolution specialist Pinky Ghadiali introduce the Four B's, Pinky's framework for the moments that decide outcomes: the pay conversation, the credit you didn't get, the boundary you keep absorbing. Rather than your usual networking, you'll work through a real situation of your own with a series of peers, leaving with new connections, a pocket framework, and a clearer view of what has been blocking you.
