SHE NEGOTIATES: Women, Power & the Seat at the Table

Negotiation is rarely just about money. It is about power, influence, choices, boundaries, opportunities, and having a meaningful voice in the decisions that matter. With She Negotiates, RESOLVE Consulting launches a new flagship initiative exploring negotiation through the experiences of women in business, investment, entrepreneurship, and leadership. The inaugural panel at Techne Summit brings together accomplished women to examine a deceptively simple question: Does negotiation change when a woman is at the table?

Through candid stories and practical insights, the conversation will explore how women experience negotiation from both sides of the table, from claiming their place and navigating perceptions of assertiveness, to negotiating salaries, investment, partnerships, authority, and difficult decisions. Beyond identifying gender-related challenges, the panel will uncover the strategies, tactics, and sources of leverage these women have learned to use, and what women can do differently to negotiate not only better deals, but greater influence, agency, and impact.
