Negotiation Workshops
Sharpening your negotiation skills takes time, education, preparation and practice.
Here's a sampling of the negotiation workshops Dr. Nijm offers.
“It was at Dr. Lisa Nijm’s negotiation workshop that I gained the knowledge (and the courage) to believe in my worth and ask for what I deserved in my negotiations into partnership. She has insight that is substantiated, evidence based, and personalized. I’m so happy to see that she is expanding her platform so others may benefit from her support.”
Negotiation Workshops for Young Physicians
Dr. Nijm has a passion for teaching. She takes joy in sharing her knowledge and experience with young doctors about the things she has learned throughout the years that she wished someone would have told her sooner. Negotiation workshops for young physicians can be customized from 1-3 hours depending on the wants and needs of the individual program and can cover such topics as finding a job, interviewing tips and successfully negotiating your contract. Dr. Nijm has developed custom case scenarios for those in training to practice their negotiation skills to become more comfortable prior to engaging in an employment contract.
Negotiation Workshops for Academic Faculty in Mid-Career
Negotiation is a learned skill and the more education and practice you have, the better you become. Dr. Nijm offers tailored workshops for academic faculty to assist them as they navigate challenges mid-career. These negotiation workshops tend to be more advanced and focus on complex salary negotiation, transforming conflict into collaboration and dealing with difficult people. Custom case scenarios can be designed per program to individualize the workshop to the needs of a particular department or institution.
Negotiation Workshops for Women and Minority Physicians
Research suggests that 20% of women never negotiate at all. Over a 45 year career, this can lead to loss of anywhere from 650k to 1M dollars, often while performing more work than other colleagues. Certain gender and structural barriers create unique circumstances for women and minority physicians in contract negotiations. Understanding and identifying these barriers is an important first step in improving the success of contract negotiations for these physicians. Moreover, a growing body of research demonstrates that negotiation skills can not only be enhanced, but cultivated to play to the strengths of these individuals. Dr. Nijm has developed specific strategy negotiation workshops to help women and minority physician leaders chose to engage and perform more effectively in negotiations.
