WHY I BLOG, COACH, and SPEAK
In the February 2011, I found a cause that took hold of me.. The continued gender salary gap. One contributing factor, the lack of women negotiating their salaries, is my focus because it is the one factor each individual can control. I am the aunt of 4 nieces. The oldest graduated college in May, 2011. The youngest probably will start her search for her first “real” job in 2020. At that time will the approximate 20% pay gap still exist?
I am going to do whatever I can to make sure the answer is no. I promote the need for women to not accept the first salary offered but to negotiate a better paycheck. Their male colleagues are doing it at a much greater rate than women. For every 8 men who negotiate there is 1 lonely, solitary woman. I have learned negotiating through formal study and years of experience. I know the staffing industry. I will use this knowledge and help others learn to negotiate.
SPEAKING, and COACHING
I speak to groups such as Women in Business Conference at the College of the Holy Cross, Women in Construction, Harvard Business School Women’s Association, and Mom Corps staffing firm who specializes in flexible work arrangements A list of future engagements can be found on the Events page
I am available to speak and teach to non-profit groups and companies as well as coach individuals in-person and remotely to negotiate a better starting salary or a raise.
