02feb09:3014:3002/02/2020: 1/2 Day Negotiation Workshop + Afternoon Tea | She Wins
We've all done it, missed out on more money and great opportunities because we were worried to ask for what we want, didn't know how to ask or
more
Research confirms that men are four times more likely than women to negotiate, especially when it comes to their salary. But it’s not women’s fault they feel too uncomfortable to negotiate on their own behalf when we’ve been conditioned to feel this way by society since we were born. As a result women can lose out on making £600,000 more over their working life(!)
The ability to negotiate was identified by the World Economic Forum as one of the top ten skills you need to succeed in the modern workplace – so it is time to brush up on this essential skill.
Over 700 women have attended our negotiation workshops and 98% of them say they feel more confident about negotiating afterwards.
This workshop is for women who recognise the importance of being able to negotiate effectively on their own behalf and want to learn how to develop their own strategies and skills.
She Wins has designed this workshop especially for women to give them the skills and confidence to negotiate on their own behalf. The key to a successful negotiation is preparation and understanding the potential pitfalls and roadblocks.
– About the social barriers that have held women back in negotiating
– The key principles of negotiation
– The importance of recognising and asking for your full value
– How to frame your first ask and counter offers
– How to gain leverage and deal with difficult situations
9:30 Meet the other workshop attendees over tea and biscuits

– We are all about connecting you with like-minded people, supporting, empowering you, and helping you grow in confidence and knowledge, in a relaxed and informal way.

The super special day each year in which we can celebrate and spoil our female friends and thank them for being so damn amazing! So why not spend your Galentine’s evening making some feminist art with your friends, sipping some yummy cocktails, listening to girl power-ful tunes and making new friendships with other like-minded women. Coming alone? No problem, this is the perfect safe space for you to remain an introvert or make some new galpals!
The workshop will involve creating individual and collaborative and therapeutic art on the subject of feminist friendships and also taking part in a group discussion on how we can support each other as women more, build new friendships, and foster strong and friendly female communities.
Tickets £8, £6 receiving benefits/disabled

FIND THE COURAGEOUS LEADER IN YOU.
more
This event provides you with a powerful springboard to propel you into your next phase of leadership.
This one-day conference gives you an opportunity to listen and learn from international speakers, executive coaches and leaders who understand what is needed to emerge as a courageous leader. From our speakers you will hear about the power of language to change the world with TEDx speaker, Simon Lancaster, how rank and privilege plays out in leadership with Tracey Gray, how to quieten the inner critic and grow your impact, with Mamta Gera, how to unleash your network and create an inner circle to grow your influence from Lakeshia Ekiegwe and Michelle Carvill, what happens to your body and mind from renowned psychologist Dr Helena Boschi, and neuroscientist Dominique Ashby, and how it all works around the Boardroom table with award winning leaders Maaike De Bie and Jenifer Swallow.
Our mission is two-fold: first to help leaders and emerging leaders to find “the courageous leader in themselves” and simultaneously to donate all tickets sales to Plan International UK charity.
You are invited to invest in yourself, take this opportunity to propel your career forward, feel empowered and gain the tools to discover your inner courage.
This event was created in partnership between charity Plan International UK and the Niru Foundation. By attending, 100% of your entry ticket fee will go to fund an education project for girls, run by Plan International UK charity. The project helps girls in Zimbabwe continue their secondary education. By attending, you will help fund the next generation of women leaders.

SAVE THE DATE: SUNDAY 8th MARCH 2020
On Sunday 8th March 2020, we will be holding a rally and a march in central London to call for urgent action on the climate crisis and the gender inequality crisis because climate justice = gender justice.
Read more about the International Women’s Day rally and march in our #March4Women FAQs.
CLIMATE JUSTICE = GENDER JUSTICE
The burden of dealing with the impacts of the climate catastrophe falls harder on women and girls. They are the ones who pick up the pieces after extreme weather, droughts, floods, storms. They are the ones on the frontline when crops fail, when food is short, when water is scarce. They are the ones who provide for their families and support their communities.
Globally and locally, women and girls are the ones speaking up the loudest for change. They are the ones calling out the injustices that have led us to this crisis point. The ones saying enough is enough.
#MARCH4WOMEN IS LISTENING. #MARCH4WOMEN IS SPEAKING OUT.
We are going to celebrate the power and passion of women and girls who are on the frontline of responding to climate change. We are going to call for urgent, immediate, and concrete action for climate justice and gender justice by governments around the world – including the new UK government.
Are you with us? People of all genders, will you join us on International Women’s Day and raise your voice for a fairer, more equal, more just, world?
Because without gender justice, there won’t be climate justice. So let’s make both happen.
