Webinar: Assertive Female Negotiation - How to Ask for More and Get It... Without the Backlash
This is a virtual event hosted by BIA by StellarOne x WomenWise
Negotiation isn’t just about money. It’s about power, recognition, and making sure your voice is heard where it matters.
And yet, many women negotiate less than men, or face bias when they do. Not because they lack capability, but because the “rules of the room” weren’t designed with women in mind.
This webinar is a short, high-impact introduction to female negotiation: what it is, why it matters, and how to start approaching key conversations differently (without feeling like you have to become someone you’re not).
It’s also the warm-up to our upcoming in-person masterclass, where we’ll go deeper and get practical with tactics, preparation, and role-play.
In this session, we’ll cover:
Why negotiation plays out differently for women (and what the research tells us)
The most common hidden barriers: confidence, conditioning, and fear of “being difficult”
The bias factor: what it looks like in real conversations, and how to navigate it
What “assertive without abrasive” actually means in practice
The foundations of strong negotiation
Live Q&A: bring your real-life scenarios (promotion, scope, salary, budgets, influence)
Led by expert negotiator Katharina Dalka - CEO of BIA by StellarOne, this exclusive session is designed to equip senior women leaders with the mindset, strategies, and techniques to negotiate with confidence, command the room, and secure what they deserve - without apology.
