Entering the last two weeks of the Harvard Business School Negotiation Mastery Course. #GrowMidwives decided to plan a curriculum that could benefit Midwives wanting to gain insight into the art of negotiation. We are VERY excited to bring this interactive experience to AMCB midwives. THREE seats remain in this Round Table series limited to 20 participants. Registration has been extended to Friday, August 4th. The nature of negotiation makes most of us think negatively, raises stress and anxiety within, and often causes distancing over leaning in to solve problems. What if you could re-direct those feelings? What might be possible to improve workplace climate, compensation packages, or persuade others to recognize the value midwives provide? What if you came prepared to find a zone of possible agreement? Learn alongside peers AND 4 remarkable, seasoned, negotiators and co-hosts ready to discuss participant specific topics, August - Nov, 7-8:30 pm (cst) #heretohelp #yesyoucan AMCB Midwife Applicant Form ($150) https://lnkd.in/eCcKBhBJ
