Hello ,


I'd like to tell you about a unique learning opportunity I am launching with
respected work-life expert Nora Spinks called Tension Talkback (http://
www.briefcasemoms.com/TensionTalkback.aspx).

We know that organizations and their employees are sometimes at odds. We
believe strongly that purposeful conversations are the beginning of successful
change. It's time to discuss the tension that can arise from opposing
viewpoints openly and honestly. A respectful exchange of perspectives and
ideas, and an understanding of how goals align can result in an environment
where individuals flourish and organizations succeed.

|Thanks to all of you who joined our          |
|April Balance Teleforum (Negotiate Your Life)|
|with my special guest Carol Frohlinger,      |
|author of Her Place at The Table.            |
|                                             |
|I asked Carol some tough questions about how |
|women can become better negotiators...and she|
|gave me the answers.  She talked about the   |
|importance of preparation, practice,         |
|position, comfort and culture.  And clearly  |
|understanding your BATNA.                    |

|                                             |
|We had a good discussion about the           |
|distinction between being "nice" and being   |
|a "pushover."  We reviewed five scenarios    |
|showcasing "nice" and "too nice"             |
|and identified ways in which we can use our  |
|authenticity to our advantage as long as we  |
|maintain and enforce our boundaries.         |
