Report
My upbringing was rather unique and personal, so I won't share too much about that, however, I believe that due to it I have developed resilience, self-awareness, and awareness of others. When working with clients, I have an independent way of thinking and am very empathetic towards the families I work with. To them, I represent someone strong, capable, and safe to share things with. I would not consider myself a pushover, or passive in regards to my needs and others, but I also am not confrontational. I suppose my negotiation style is very situation-based, but I believe equality and respect should be present for all parties involved. However, sometimes that is not rational. I can't say that I have been involved in a competitive or power-based negotiation. Still, I would imagine that my being a woman would not be considered as an advantage unless the negotiation was with another woman. In collaborative and interest based negotiations I do not feel that my gender has had an impact on the outcome, rather my ability to communicate, collaborate, keep in mind the goal and purpose of the negotiation, and how I navigate through situations. My professional characteristics are not gender-based, however, I suppose that there could be times when being a woman can be a strength in negotiation, and other
times when it can be a disadvantage. My hopes are that people will continue to progress, and stereotypes and power imbalances will continue to be discredited and there will be more equality present in society. Interest-based approaches focus on fair and mutually agreed-upon outcomes. I believe this is a healthy, fair, and most suitable option in regard to negotiation. It may be more difficult and require critical and creative thinking, and there isn't room for power imbalances and pride. It will require coming toa a point where you can understand and respect each party involved, no matter what the differences may be. That can be a troubling task for some. Power based negotiations is a competitive intersection between parties, where power is exerted over one another. Based upon the readings, I feel that I have always used interest-based negotiations, most recently when requesting salary increases. I understand the financial difficulties that a small non-profit can endure, however, I also feel that it is the staff that makes that agency run and they deserve adequate pay for the work they do. The sit-down meeting was long, and very open and honest. I am lucky to work for an agency where everyone is made to feel equal, respected, and supported. It is a privilege these days to receive that and even feel comfortable having difficult conversations
with employers.
