Negotiating Salary (and Clients)

This article is focused on a particular field; archives, but I found the content clear, compelling and useful for anyone negotiating a long-term contract, piece of business or salary. It is aimed toward women, given the idea that we don’t tend to negotiate our salaries, and not doing so impacts the gender wage gap.

Written by Maureen Callahan, (who also happens to be my daughter!) it speaks to why we work (money), who to negotiate with (HR, not your direct report), separating their budget issues from yours, and the slippery concept of “merit increases”. Enjoy!

Ambassador Speaks on the Future of U.S./Mexico Trade Relations

The Honorable Carlos Manuel Sada Solana, Ambassador of Mexico to the United States, spoke last night on the future of U.S./Mexico trade relations. We had a very positive conversation on the Sieb Mercantile-Mexico initiative and ProMexico’s role in promoting the initiative at Mexican Consulates around the U.S.

It was a great opportunity to hear thoughtful views supporting healthy International relationships, with hundreds of international and national citizens attending at the Phoenix Downtown Sheraton.
