Inspired by the book, Women Don’t Ask, we Social Psych-ers have put together a negotiation workshop. The book cites a study that says by not negotiating a first salary a person stands to lose $500,000 by age 60. Clearly, negotiation is a skill we all need to develop before entering the work force. So come to our workshop, which will be led by Chris Melcher (legal counsel for CC) and Prof. Emily Chan, and learn about the basics of negotiation, find your personal negotiating style, and partake in some real world negotiation exercises.

This workshop is open to EVERYONE. Women might need to start asking, but men need to learn HOW to ask.

Notes: This meeting is open to everyone, even if you have not taken Social Psychology!
