Negotiation Principles for Women

One important principle for women in negotiation is to think holistically. This means considering not just base salary, but other factors that could improve workplace happiness and impact, such as additional benefits, flexible hours, or training opportunities. Another principle is to ask relationally, which involves demonstrating the legitimacy and benefits of what you're asking for to reduce the risk of backlash. Using the WorthMore relational ask equation (RAY) can help structure the negotiation conversation. Lastly, discussions should be held collaboratively, emphasizing problem-solving and finding solutions that benefit both parties.
