It's free. Lunch and Learn - Negotiating Assertiveness Thursday, October 19, Noon to 1 p.m. Women's Resource Center Suite 131, Student Services (Flag) Building (cookies, soda and water provided) Getting What You Deserve in the Workplace You can be a smart, hardworking employee who consistently exceeds job requirements and you still may not get what you want and deserve in terms of job offers, salary, promotions, perks or visibility within your company or professional field. This workshop will apply psychology within the realities of the business work environment. Attendees will gain insight on how their own psychology and the psychology of female power influences their ability to ask for and get what they want and deserve. The workshop will also provide strategies for finding your voice and how to assert yourself in crucial conversations in your career.
