Empower Hour: Negotiating
Successfully as a Woman
Too many women struggle because they don't know what is possible or how to ask for it successfully. Kathryn's Empower Hour will inspire your audience to take their careers to the next level by teaching participants how to identify their needs, craft their ask and have a successful conversation, achieving better outcomes and better relationships.
Based on more than a decade of research and hundreds of workplace conversations, Kathryn has created a proven approach to negotiating successfully as a woman. She will outline the benefits of asking for what you need and the barriers that can hold women back. She will share her research-based solution that empowers women to successfully advocate in the workplace.
This keynote is suited for all women – from those one year into the workforce up to CEOs.
BOOK EMPOWER HOUR
We’ve all heard about the power of networks. That job placements, promotions, and opportunities are more likely to come from your network than anywhere else. But most women have not proactively created a network that will surface the opportunities that they want – until now.
Based on research showing that men need one type of network to succeed in business, but women need TWO, Kathryn will break down network dynamics, explain the various roles within one’s network, and walk participants through creating a network that will generate the very opportunities you’re hoping for.
This keynote is suited for all women – from those one year into the workforce up to CEOs.

Based on research from top universities and her own experiences, Kathryn will share why we feel like there isn’t enough time and why most time management systems fail women. She will then outline the benefits of taking charge of your time, a research-based formula on how to say no and share her own time management system.
This keynote is suited for all women – from those one year into the workforce up to CEOs.
