Do women care more what others think of them than men when it comes to negotiation?  Why are we embarrassed to negotiate when spending our hard earned cash or negotiating our worth in the workplace?

I am writing a book for women on Successful Salary Negotiation and would love to hear your salary negotiation stories; be they great or perhaps not so great so that other women can learn from them and we can work towards addressing the current pay inequality that exists between men and women.

If you are happy to be interviewed via phone or face to face and to share your story (your name can be anonymous) to be included in my book  please email me kelly.magowan@sixfigures.com.au Include in the subject line – salary negotiation story.

Charity: I would like to donate a percentage of the money from the book sales to a charity that is aligned with assisting women advance in the workforce both career and salary wise. Any charity suggestions you have would be welcomed.
I look forward to hearing your stories in 2009!

Thank you and Happy New Year

Kelly
