How She Does It

Ep 31: Negotiate Fearlessly With Erin Lydon


Listen Later

What comes to mind when you think of a poker game? Is it a basement or a casino? Is it filled with smoke? Is it mostly men? If those are the assumptions you made, you’re not far off because of the one hundred million people who play poker, fewer than 10% of them are women. Learning the game of poker isn’t just for fun though, it can teach women key skills in life — making bets on themselves, taking risks at work, and practicing their best poker face in a negotiation. 

Erin Lydon is the President of Poker Power, a women-led community that uses the game of poker to build confidence, challenge the status quo, learn strategy, and assess risk. Listen in to hear about her career from private banking to poker whiz, the difference between a fish and a shark (in poker, not the aquarium), and how women can use the skills learned in poker to navigate everything from a divorce to a raise.
