Hundred Buck Hours — courtesy of our client!

This year had a rough start, but a recent event is making us feel hopeful.

KristyAnne, a She Negotiates client, is sponsoring 12 women - yes, twelve - with a Hundred Buck Hour!

This means that 12 women will talk to us for a one-on-one hour-long session during which we will offer personalized and actionable negotiation advice. Read on to learn how you, or someone you know, can access one of these hours. 

First, here's KristyAnne talking about why she decided to sponsor a Hundred Buck Hour for twelve women this year:

“I love that Victoria Pynchon and her team are addressing the gender gap by providing career coaching to empower women in the workplace. After seeing the impact from the pandemic on the workforce in addition to the existing inequity for women, I was looking for opportunities where I could help.

With She Negotiates, I am able to sponsor twelve women who will each receive a Hundred Buck Hour Session with Victoria. I have seen firsthand the benefit a mentor can have on a career trajectory. I am proud to partner with an organization that is giving other women the necessary tools to succeed in the workplace.”

Now, if you're interested in one of the 12 Hundred Buck Hours (or know someone who is!), here's how it's going to work:

One person will receive one Hundred Buck Hour each month. Every month, we will have rotating categories in an effort to make sure these calls go to women of varying backgrounds and circumstances. 

For the month of January, we have given one Hundred Buck Hour to a woman who is currently earning less than $50k per year and is looking to strengthen her negotiation skills. If you are in a similar situation, there will be another opportunity in coming months to receive one of these hours.

In February we will be giving the second Hundred Buck Hour to a recent graduate looking to level up their negotiations during their job search. If this is you (or someone you know) reply to this email and let us know.

We'll be gathering up all the responses and randomly select one. This will allow us to distribute these hours as equitably as possible - no applications required.

Look, we know the statistics. We know that wage gaps exist, and we know wage gaps grow even wider when we take race, ethnicity, age and other identities into consideration.

One tangible thing that we can all do to close those gaps is to negotiate. It's a tried and true method that allows women to earn the salaries, get the promotions, and receive the accolades we work hard for.

If you have the means to sponsor other women with access to valuable negotiation skills, reply to this email and let us know. We will soon have a page on our website that will make it easy for you to gift any of our consultation packages. 

In the meantime, happy negotiating!
