Welcome to Season 3 of “From a Woman to a Leader”!
Hi everyone!
I’m Limor Bergman Gross, your host, and I’m beyond excited to kick off the third season of my podcast, “From a Woman to a Leader.”
This season’s theme, “Negotiate Like a Woman,” is incredibly close to my heart, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
Why Negotiations Matter
Negotiations are a part of our everyday lives, whether we’re negotiating for a promotion, buying a car, or even deciding on a family vacation. For many women, the idea of negotiating can feel intimidating or uncomfortable.
I’ve been there myself, feeling uneasy about asking for what I deserve or navigating difficult conversations. But here’s the thing: negotiation doesn’t have to be confrontational or stressful. It can be genuine, collaborative, and true to who you are.
Personal Insights: My Journey with Negotiation
I want to share some personal stories that have shaped my understanding of negotiation.
Moving to the US with Twins
Back in 2010, my husband was offered a job in Denver, Colorado. At the time, I was pregnant with twins and already had two young children. Moving across the world felt like an impossible task. But after some reflection, I decided to embrace the opportunity. Finding a house in a new country, especially with a tight budget, was a real challenge. I had to negotiate a deal for a house that fit our needs and budget, and to my surprise, I succeeded by being honest, transparent, and true to myself.
Securing Crucial Work Deals
In my professional life, I’ve had to negotiate with vendors to secure the best deals for my company. Building rapport, being transparent about our needs, and striving for a win-win solution helped me land deals that seemed impossible at first. These experiences taught me that when you negotiate authentically, you can achieve great results.
