Hello fellow WiT fishbowl-hers! We have a great live session being planned for next Thursday around self-advocacy and negotiations. There is so much that can be touched upon with these two healthy areas. Out of curiosity, what would you like to explore most with these? Are there any burning areas or scenarios you'd like to make sure we cover?
