‘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 āWomen and Negotiationā from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 5 in the Ā鶹“«Ć½AV 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, āWomen Don't Ask: The High Cost of Avoiding Negotiation ā and Positive Strategies for Changeā 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, āAsk For It: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What they Really Want,ā 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 āNice Girls Donāt Get the Corner Office,ā says of āAsk For Itā: āNice girls donāt ask, but smart women do. āAsk For Itā provides the tangible tools and tips you need to get your fair share of the raises, promotions and perks youāve earnedāand deserve.ā
āOne of our goals in bringing Ms. Laschever to Pocatello is to share her expertise on negotiating with the women of our community,ā said Debra Easterly, Ed.D., project director of WeLEAD and event organizer. āWe encourage women's groups in town to share information on this event with their members.ā
Lascheverās byline has appeared in āThe New York Times,ā āThe Harvard Business Review,ā āThe New York Review of Books,ā āThe Boston Globe,ā āVogueā 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 womenās issues
