This helpful guide for women in the workplace will show you how to take charge of any negotiation.

No wonder most women hate negotiating. If we make concessions to further a deal, we're viewed as weak. If we play hardball, we can be seen as overly aggressive—and the strategy backfires. The double standard will get us every time. Thankfully, negotiation expert Yasmin Davidds has learned how best to strike a balance, merging a woman's natural strengths—collaboration, relationship building, listening—with a firm grasp of established tactics.

Utilizing guidelines, stories, and exercises that shed light on the psychology of negotiation, Your Own Terms reveals how women can:

  • Control how they are perceived
  • Eliminate self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors
  • Discover their personal negotiation style
  • Build leverage
  • Understand an opponent's approach and adjust theirs in response
  • Don't let the world's double standards for women in business hold you back from negotiating for what you know is right. With this eye-opening and empowering resource by your side, learn to win on your own terms—and open doors you never knew had been shut.

        Starred review from June 15, 2015
        Negotiations are nerve-racking for everyone, but women, socialized to agree and demur, are at a unique disadvantage at the bargaining table. Enter negotiation specialist Davidds, who has worked with thousands of clients from over 200 companies throughout the U.S. and Latin America. In a firm and friendly tone, she goes right to work breaking through the myths that can hinder women (for example, that they need to be mean to be taken seriously) and presents a realistic, achievable program for becoming a successful negotiator. Success depends on tailoring one’s technique to make the most of one’s personal communication and personality style, she says, and goes on to cover avoiding self-sabotage, understanding all the stages of negotiation, handling tough situations and difficult people, using “gender
        intelligence,” and developing hard and soft skills. This is that rare guide that matches big-picture strategy with specific advice, worksheets, and scripts. It’s indispensable for women looking to effectively negotiate a salary, career move, or new opportunity with confidence and ease. Agent: Linda Konner, Linda Konner Literary Agency.
