Studies show that women do not negotiate for themselves as much as men do. Yet, negotiation is a critical leadership skill. This course is designed for women in the environmental profession who want to develop their negotiation skills. The course emphasizes the gender dimension of negotiations and provides tools that women, in particular, need to be better negotiators.

Attendees will receive a course workbook containing workshop proceedings and reference material.
