UPFRONT Moment with Lauren Currie

Think a salary increase of 93% isn’t attainable? Think again.

Wies Bratby is a Negotiation Coach, Chief Enthusiasm Officer at Women in Negotiation, and an unapologetic advocate for women getting what they want and knowing how to negotiate.

We talk about all things negotiation, making it about business - not personal. We talk about embracing the things you're good at and… not so good at. How the combination of hyping yourself while recognising your weaknesses is the foundation for confidence. We talk about rejection and handling pushback. Why it's often so much easier to go to bat for others than to bat for ourselves.

Wies also shares the story of being at the epicentre of the largest settlement in the history of her country along with her top three things that you can start doing tomorrow to get better at negotiation.

In this episode, I reflect on insightful moments from past conversations with three of our remarkable guests who will be our keynote speakers LIVE in Birmingham this Saturday 27th of April: Cindy Gallop, Genelle Aldred, and Dr. Meenal Viz.

Cindy Gallop, a renowned figure in the advertising industry and CEO of Make Love Not Porn, shares her direct, no-nonsense approach that pushes us to elevate ourselves.

Genelle Aldred, a former news presenter turned communication expert and author, delves into the complexities of confidence, particularly in navigating difficult conversations and self-advocacy.

Dr. Meenal Viz gained prominence through her activism during COVID-19, challenging governmental policies regarding healthcare workers' safety. She shares her journey, emphasising the importance of confidence in activism and challenging the status quo.

Each of these incredibly inspiring women brings a unique and powerful perspective that will only be amplified in person.

Fionna Inward Allen is a self-proclaimed “Poet-writer-performer, activist, educator, single mum, half-glass-full, smurf-sized, watermelon-mouthed, Northern gobshite”

She’s a Bond 7 graduate and a regular on the Manchester Poetry Circuit. Fionna has been creating and performing poetry, fiction, theatre and personal essays for over 25 years.

We talked about giving yourself permission to be creative, about finding stillness in our busy lives. We talked about how important it is to look at the role we play in our domestic spaces and how to form your own creativity committee.

Fionna performs two of her poems, ‘Blueprint of a House’ - about the moment she realised she had to separate from her new baby's father. And ‘Bringing Twigs’ - a poem she wrote whilst on benefits, scribbling sums on a notepad, trying to figure out how she was going to pay her bills.
