When asked to pick metaphors for negotiating, men pick ‘winning a ballgame’ while women pick ‘going to the dentist.’  Women typically ask for and get less when they do negotiate—on average, 30% less than men.  After reading the ground-breaking book, Women Don’t Ask, blogger La Roxy took these statistics as a challenge and embarked on a mission to ask for something—big or small—every day for a year.  Documented at thedailyasker.blogspot.com, La Roxy compiled a year of asking into fascinating stories and surprising statistics.  Bring lunch and hear about her experiences—of course, we’ll leave plenty of time for questions.
