Join the Canadian Business Council (CBC) Abu Dhabi for a live webinar about The Power of Negotiation – Are you playing the wrong game?

Are you excited and passionate about your career but feel the playing field is not leveled?

Do you feel like you are on the outside of the “old club” and can’t get a seat at the table?

How do you use the power of negotiation to join the club or should you be creating your own narrative?

Women continue to be chronically underrepresented in key leadership roles across the globe. As business leaders, we are in a unique position to help make the future more equitable for everyone and accelerate progress. Join us for an exciting talk on negotiation skills and how to progress your career under your own terms. There has never been a better time to invest in your personal brand, distinguish yourself using negotiation tools and propel your career.

Speakers will be discussing the following topics:

  • What is the game?
  • Understand “Survival of the Species”
  • The pitfall of homogeneous thinking
  • Gender positive negotiation tools
  • Together we can change the conversation
