For anyone who has been a teenager–or has faced the blunt wrath of one–there is something about the clarity of belief and total confidence in one’s position that should appeal to all of us when we discuss assertiveness. In honor of International Women’s Day, I’m using both US and foreign examples of teenage assertiveness. First, … Continue reading Talk Like a Teenager
My next examples of negotiation skills come straight from the pandemic–and by that I mean watching television for hours during the pandemic! Again, let me note that these are examples, not of negotiation per se, but rather examples of women in action showing the skills that we need for negotiation. And, as we teach negotiation, … Continue reading Have Empathy Like Eleanor (and be Perceptive like Princess Diana)
To force myself to do a bit of scholarship outlining, I’ve decided to take advantage of Women’s History Month in March and post twice each week about female examples of negotiation expertise.

The New York Times had a great piece yesterday that explains this further. It’s all about the standards that we use. Think Moneyball for equity. Our traditional argument … Continue reading Moneyball for Equity
I was delighted to pen an op-ed with Grande Lum (in between his book tour, speaking engagements and managing a university!) in which we argue that this election also turns on how we view the role of the president as a negotiator. I’ve spoken about this with Liz Tippet in her terrific Oregon Law Labs … Continue reading Electing our Negotiator-in-Chief
It’s the swag and brag time of the year where we each tout our wonderful DR programs (and they are all great, really!) This year, Marquette sent out a lovely gadget fitting for the era we live in, and there have been some questions about how to use it, as well as creative ideas that … Continue reading Creative Uses Exercise?
One of the best parts of my new position with the Institute for Women’s Leadership at Marquette is getting the opportunity to meet and work with amazing faculty across campus. Working with our steering committee since last spring, we had planned to have a great conference focusing on suffrage and innovation—how was women’s intellectual empowerment … Continue reading A is for Activism–Or Want to Know What’s Going on In Milwaukee During Election Season?
