Are you getting what you are worth?
We’ve all bragged or boasted about one thing or another. It’s human nature. But bragging has negative connotations, and many people, particularly women, are often hesitant to speak positively about their accomplishments.
A 2014 study found that professional women were significantly more likely to brag about a friend’s professional accomplishments than their own for fear of violating conceptions about their own “ladylike ” nature (Read full article). Why is it that women are so quick to champion for everyone else but themselves? We can ask for a rasie or promotion for our collegue but why not for ourselves?
Cindy Gallop, founder of IfWeRanTheWorld notes, “Most men negotiate without taking things personally; some women do, but on the whole, women have enormous trouble doing that. So the key thing is, this is all business. It’s a business environment; this is a business conversation.
If you want to get ahead you need to be a self promoter. Brag away if you have the goods and get what you are worth in business and life. Poker can help. Through the game, you’ll learn the important assertiveness skills necessary to help you confidently communicate your worth.
Not to brag or anything, but we’ve had the opportunity of being a part of some interactive events this Fall. We had the pleasure of working with professionals from Real Estate, Law, Media, Private Equity and we even had a gender “face-off” with a tech hedge fund. Take a look at what went on at the table.
