Her Table: Closing the Pay Gap Through Salary Negotiation with Malinda Gaul
2024-03-20 18:30 - 20:30 | For Her Community Space, 8546 Broadway, Suite 255, San Antonio, TX, 78217, United States

Workshop Topic: Closing the Pay Gap Through Salary Negotiation
Women who work full-time take home about 83 cents for every dollar a full-time male worker is paid. The pay gap grows larger over time during a woman’s career. Unless things change, the pay gap will not close until 2106–that’s why women need to empower themselves with salary negotiation skills and work to change policies and employer culture.
In this workshop, learn how to research your target salary, highlight your accomplishments, and find the right words–and the confidence–to negotiate for better benefits and pay. Negotiating increases your potential to earn more and can make the difference in paying off loans, supporting your family, buying what you want and need, and saving for the future.
Facilitators: Malinda Gaul

Workshop Topic: From Fear to Healing – Empowering Women through Financial Literacy and Investing
In a world where financial independence is key to empowerment, many women find themselves at a crossroads, unsure of how to navigate the complex landscape of personal finance and investing. Despite studies showing that women often outperform men in investment returns, a significant gap in confidence and knowledge persists.
Why This Matters:

Only 19% of women feel very confident in their investing abilities, compared to 38% of men (Source: Robinhood).
Women, on average, earn 15% less than men, yet they live longer, highlighting the critical need for effective financial planning (OECD).
Financial literacy for women isn’t just about personal wealth; it’s about creating a ripple effect that benefits families and communities for generations.

This interactive workshop, presented by Lina Rugova of Emerge and Rise, is designed to transform your approach to money and investing. Through engaging sessions, we’ll explore the essentials of financial literacy, from budgeting and saving to investing wisely for the future. Here’s what you can expect:

Interactive Learning: Simplify complex financial concepts through practical, hands-on activities.
Empowerment Through Education: Understand how to overcome psychological barriers to financial success.
Strategies for Smart Investing: Learn how to make informed decisions that align with your goals and lifestyle.

Step into a space where your financial fears are addressed and your potential is unlocked. This workshop is a step toward mastering your financial future, whether you’re a beginner or looking to enhance your knowledge. Invest in your future today by empowering yourself with the knowledge and confidence to make smart financial decisions.
