ACR-GNY & CUNY Dispute Resolution Center at John Jay College present:
Collaborative Hardball: Bringing Women’s Power and the Feminine into Negotiation
Negotiation happens not only between two intellects, but between two nervous systems, two bodies, two histories, and often two very different experiences of power. Drawing from her book Collaborative Hardball, Susan Coleman explores how traditional negotiation models can overlook gender, the impact of patriarchy, embodied intelligence, and the realities of unequal power.
In this interactive and experiential session, participants will examine how women—and people of all genders—can move beyond the false choice between preserving relationships and exercising power. Through a short reading, an unequal-power case, personal reflection, and simple embodied practices, participants will experience what it means to become firm without becoming rigid, fierce without dominating, and fair without abandoning ourselves.
Together, we will explore a feminine-infused approach to negotiation that replaces power-over with power-with, while preserving the courage, clarity, and strategic strength needed to engage conflict and create meaningful change.
