Book Description
How women can use the power of negotiation to get what they really want
Product Description
To research this groundbreaking book, Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever spent several years talking to thousands of women about the high cost of failing to ask for what they want. Through that research, one thing became abundantly clear: feelings of self doubt - that voice inside your head that says 'Don't get pushy. Do you really deserve more?' - consistently prevent women from getting the things they desire most, whether it's a pay rise, a nicer office, or even just some help around the house. In Ask for It, Babcock and Laschever have developed a unique, cooperative approach to negotiating that begins before you ever get to a bargaining table, one that will help women realise their self-worth and identify their goals as well as maximise their bargaining power. It will help propel you to new places both professionally and personally - and open doors you thought were closed. Essential reading for women everywhere, Ask For It will help you recognise how much more you deserve - and show you how to get it.

I got this book for a female friend who expressed a need for help in becoming more assertive. She is using the 'power of negotiation' already and feeling much more positive about herself.

I normally hate self-help books but this one hit the nail on the head. Practical and clear without being condescending, it's already helped me negotiate for dozens of things I never thought I'd have the guts to ask for and achieve excellent results. If you're a woman who struggles with negotiating I can't recommend it highly enough. I've also found the process of learning to negotiate fun and that's something I never thought I'd say. Thanks to the authors for writing such a useful book.
Format:Paperback
Unputdownable -so glad I got this book. Shows how women from all backgrounds & stages of their lives lose out because girls aren't expected to 'go' for the things they want and need.
Demonstrates with real life examples the benefits of 'asking & negotiating' skills. Gives tips on how to recognise opportunities & even on how to create them. Shows how and when to walk away too. Has a practical exercise section at the back. Already I'm implementing many of its principles & seeing the results including increased self esteem.
I've recommended this book to two girlfriends
