Gender in Negotiation: Women’s Leadership and Career Advancement with Hannah Riley Bowles

We negotiate all the time with work colleagues, friends, and family—to manage conflict, achieve our aspirations, and live by our values.  When and how do gender and other intersecting identities influence these negotiation processes? Hannah Riley Bowles will present the latest research on situational factors that moderate the likelihood of gender effects in negotiation and share an evidence-based tool for your negotiation preparation.
