‘Women and Negotiaton’ topic of WeLEAD lecture Feb. 5 at ISU
January 9, 2009
Author, editor and cultural critic Sara Laschever will deliver the presentation 鈥淲omen and Negotiation鈥� from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 5 in the 色花堂app L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center.
Laschever's lecture will take place in the James E. and Beverly Rogers Black Box Theatre. The presentation is sponsored by ISU WeLEAD (Women empowered to Learn, Educate, Advance and Develop) Project.
Laschever's first book, 鈥淲omen Don't Ask: The High Cost of Avoiding Negotiation 鈥� and Positive Strategies for Change鈥� co-authored by Linda Babcock, explored a newly recognized phenomenon: that women are much less likely than men to use negotiation to improve their circumstances.
Her new book, 鈥淎sk For It: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What they Really Want,鈥� also co-authored with Babcock, presents a research-backed, four-phase program to help women learn to be more confident and effective negotiators. Laschever will share her research findings at this presentation.
Lois Frankel, author of the best-seller 鈥淣ice Girls Don鈥檛 Get the Corner Office,鈥� says of 鈥淎sk For It鈥�: 鈥淣ice girls don鈥檛 ask, but smart women do. 鈥楢sk For It鈥� provides the tangible tools and tips you need to get your fair share of the raises, promotions and perks you鈥檝e earned鈥攁nd deserve.鈥�
鈥淥ne of our goals in bringing Ms. Laschever to Pocatello is to share her expertise on negotiating with the women of our community,鈥� said Debra Easterly, Ed.D., project director of WeLEAD and event organizer. 鈥淲e encourage women's groups in town to share information on this event with their members.鈥�
Laschever鈥檚 byline has appeared in 鈥淭he New York Times,鈥� 鈥淭he Harvard Business Review,鈥� 鈥淭he New York Review of Books,鈥� 鈥淭he Boston Globe,鈥� 鈥淰ogue鈥� and many other publications. Her broad-ranging interests have led her to write about popular culture (she co-founded one of the first online cultural journals, millennium pop), literature and the arts, science, academia, business, and women鈥檚 issues
