General Session: "The Challenges and Surprising Opportunities When Women Negotiate"
Professor Margaret Neale 
There is more to negotiating than asserting your position, issuing ultimatums, declaring a winner (and, thus, a loser), or simply acquiescing to your counterpart’s demands – and these challenges become more complex when women negotiate. In this session, Professor Neale will explore the nature of the negotiation playing field for women and suggest a reframing that can improve negotiator outcomes for women, their teams, organizations, and wider communities of which they are a part.
