How clarity, credibility and connection supercharge your negotiating prowess.
This is part of the Female Founders Rise Summer School for Founders. Check out our other summer sessions here.
Most women are taught that negotiating well means adopting someone else's playbook - be more assertive, push harder, negotiate "like a man." That advice doesn't just miss the point. It actively works against what actually builds trust and gets sustainable agreements. The strongest negotiators aren't the ones who've suppressed their instincts to fit a template. They're the ones who know how to make a clear and compelling ask, understand exactly why credibility matters and how to build theirs, and lean into their own strengths rather than someone else's.
In this Summer School masterclass, Suzanne de Janasz - ranked the world's #1 female negotiation expert (#12 overall globally), a London Business School affiliate professor, a four-time Harvard Business Review author currently writing the third edition of her negotiation textbook, and keynote speaker - will show you how clarity, credibility and connection supercharge your negotiating prowess.
This session is particularly geared towards women at all ages and stages, including founders, negotiating for what they deserve, though the principles apply anytime you need to ask for something and mean it.
You'll leave with:
How to make clear and compelling asks
Why credibility matters and how to increase yours
How leaning into your feminine strengths - rather than trying to negotiate like a man - builds trust, relationships, and sustainable agreements
Speaker:
Suzanne de Janasz, Affiliate Professor, London Business School
