That’s the message that a training and consulting group called Negotiating Women Inc. is pushing as it launches a new product designed to help law firms maintain women’s initiatives in the legal industry during this dismal economic period. As budgets and jobs continue to be slashed at law firms across the United States, women advocates fear that women’s initiatives could get lost in the shuffle. To help law firms maintain the momentum of initiatives previously put into place, Negotiating Women is launching the Just Add Women Meeting Toolkit Series.
It’s a $14,999 Powerpoint presentation that’s e-mailed to law firms with step-by-step instructions on how to conduct meetings designed to boost women’s roles in the legal profession and help them become partners and rainmakers. It comes with a scripted guide, along with tips on how to run six meetings on various topics, such as how to have complicated conversations with clients.
