As part of the WIN Masterclass Series: For WIN, by WIN, we’re building a growing library of practical, member-led education designed to support financial confidence over time.

Each masterclass is created by WIN members, for WIN members—structured as accessible, micro-learning sessions that can be revisited at any time.

If you missed the live session, you can now access the full recap below.

Session overview

This session, led by Angela Langmann, focuses on one of the most common challenges across career stages—confidently navigating pay conversations.

Research suggests that not negotiating early in a career can have a significant long-term impact on earnings. Even a single conversation can shift that trajectory.

Despite strong performance, many women hesitate to initiate or fully engage in salary discussions, often underestimating their value or second-guessing their approach. Over time, this can materially affect long-term earning potential.

Relevant across both early career stages and senior leadership, this masterclass provides practical tools for approaching compensation conversations with greater clarity, structure and confidence.

What was covered:

• How to prepare effectively for a salary conversation

• Understanding and articulating your market value

• Common negotiation mistakes—and how to avoid them

• Nine practical scripts for negotiating job offers, asking for pay increases, and responding to common objections

• Building confidence in professional self-advocacy
