“Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good.” Malcolm Gladwell, “Outliers” (2008).

Do you aspire to negotiate your salary offer successfully: to get paid your professional worth and leave no value on the table? And do that not once, but for every new role you will ever get? 

To achieve this, you need to become a master at confidently applying salary negotiation skills. After sharing actionable Salary Negotiation Skills on March 5 and March 12 (“for women”), Sales & Negotiation expert Marcel Dévény will host a session in which the focus is to practice salary negotiation and giving and getting feedback. Because practice makes us really good! 

With over 25 years of Sales & Negotiation experience at top companies, Marcel is dedicated to empowering students at business schools and universities on their journey to unlock a successful career.
