demanding top performance from top talent. Based on new data compiled from interviews with
CEOs and other C-suite executives, leadership development experts, and recent research studies,
top management leadership trends include:
Chief Executives are increasingly responsible for talent management;
Having the right talent is a way to drive corporate performance; and
More data is surfacing as to the value that women bring as a part of the
organizational talent pool resulting in higher corporate financial performance.
Her Place at the Table: Negotiating Conditions for Leadership Success
o Carol Frohlinger, Negotiating Women, Inc.
Research suggests that women are excellent at negotiating on behalf of others, but not as good at
negotiating for themselves. Yet, it is clear that when women negotiate effectively for what they
want and need, not only do they benefit but their organizations benefit as well.
During this session led by top negotiating expert Carol Forhlinger, participants will learn:
To think more broadly about negotiation as a way to solve problems in both formal
and informal situations;
Why women often need to negotiate for things men can usually take for granted;
How to recognize and take advantage of negotiating opportunities;
