Our favourite quotes:
“You are always negotiating, whether you know it or not. Every conversation you are in is a kind of negotiation.”
“If you are uncomfortable with the idea of asking, it is because you have to ask more and more, practice to finally feel comfortable.”
“If you’re not failing, what are you learning? If you never fail, you never learn”
“Actually women are some of the greatest negotiators in the world, but what’s frustrating is that when we come to the workplace which has been designed by men, for men, where we’re made to feel less valued, it becomes harder to transfer that skill into work”
This masterclass was part of the “What I really really want” Bootcamp offered by 50inTech. Original title was “Young, Diverse, and Ambitious Women”.
