Negotiation: When to push and when to pull back

Negotiation

When to push and when to pull back

Cement Mills Hall, 10:30 am

When to push forward and when to pull back?

Women generally tend to defer their needs for the needs of their families and loved ones. This tendency can spilll over into other relationships and social circumstances such as work. We want to unpack this feminine tendency:

– why we might have this proclivity,

– what strategies we can deploy to assert ourselves, and

– when and where that assertion might be warranted.

Our Panel for the day

Helen is passionate about regenerative farming practises and these ethics form the foundations of her farming enterprise at Picots Farms. Helen also juggles professional duties as General Manager of The Outback Way.

Helen is a strong advocate for women’s issues and will bring much to this discussion on negotiation, in particular, as she has been successful in negotiating the funding necessary to build a massive highway through the middle of Australia! A remarkable feat.

Tanya’s life is deeply engrained in biodiversity, horses, family, farming, education. A deep thinker, Tanya is also passionate about women’s issues and has been collaborating with me in the lead up to this event to help craft and design the event. I value her contribution deeply.
Tanya is currently Condamine Headwaters Landcare Coordinator (Warwick) as well as running her own farm and farmstay business at Wallaby Creek.

Julie brings deep experience in women’s issues with her years working as a Domestic Violence Counsellor in Kinagroy. Julie will bring much to this discussion having had to counsel women in extreme circumstances, assisting them to assert themselves when their needs were being overridden.

Julie is passionate about her garden and loves living in the rural sector.

Currently Consultant at: Bunyarra Counselling Services
