This workshop is an initiative of the “Women in Control” (WiC) and COACH programs. The purpose of this workshop is mentoring the new generation of female scientists with the focus on negotiation and communication skills, which are important platforms for successful carrier. This workshop is designed to provide powerful women with skills to succeed in accomplishing their goals in negotiations and meetings. Participants will be introduced to performance techniques that people in the theater and in leadership training understand about how to be effective (body language and non-verbals). They will learn how to articulate a clear purpose, land their message, be heard, enhance personal presence, depersonalize attacks, and manage hot moments. Discussion, coaching, and role-play, taken from the group, creates a highly interactive, personal and powerful learning of the wide range of tactics available for success.
