Learn from a Leader (LFAL): Learn How to Unlock Your Power of Persuasion
On June 26th, we hosted a LFAL panel centered around strategies and tips that can aid in professional negotiations.
Moderated by Claudia Aliff (Flix), the panel featured Kate O'Connor (SEPTA), Patti Gibson May, (WTS Past President), Ray Verrelle (HNTB) and Carrie Streahle (Promatech Inc.), who shared their experiences and past stories related to salary discussions, contract and teaming negotiations, and balancing expectations. Our leaders emphasized the need for preparation, relationship-development, clear goals, consideration of your position, and flexibility to achieve successful outcomes. Panelists provided key takeaways for approaching negotiations such as “don't come into a negotiation thinking you deserve anything!" from the one and only, Patti Gibson May.
