Speaker Linda Babcock alone is probably worth the time to attend -- and not just for women, although women likely will benefit more. One of the various "hidden" factors accounting for the gender wage differential in our society is that in our culture, women generally do not negotiate in the employment setting as well as men. I know of many, many instances where the generality doesn't match reality, but Ms. Babcock's stats attest to a trend that shouldn't be ignored. There's certainly nothing innate about it (my mother is the toughest negotiator I know), it's the way we were all brought up.
ReplyDeleteWomen generally do not go to the job interview with the same expecations or approach as men. What's the result? The bottom line is that even business owners who despise misogyny (I am one) are looking to cut the best deal they can for their company, and if the prospective employee doesn't demand more, I am likely not going to hand her or him more than I need to (this is true for men and women). I can't tell you how many times I've had to counsel clients to just ask for what they really want, and to be ready to provide their reasons -- the worst that can happen is that the other side will say "no."
I recommend attending just to hear Ms. Babcock (oh, and to see the art, too).
