Know Your Worth: Take Command of Negotiations

Join WISE Twin Cities on Thursday, August 22nd at the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot from 5:30PM-7:30PM for our Financial Fitness Event – Knowing Your Worth: Take Command of Negotiations.

Successful negotiations demand communication that is clear, concise and convincing. Knowing what you want and why is the first step to determining how to get it. Whether seeking a raise or promotion or to secure an advantageous business opportunity, participants in this entertaining and introspective workshop will emerge with the skills to present their best selves, manage conflict with confidence and fact-check a pesky internal narrator. Define success on your own terms, discover why negotiation is a two-step process and determine how to use “no” as your “know.”

We are proud to announce our 2019 Financial Fitness Keynote is:
