Salary Negotiation 101

Wednesday, July 9, 2025

About the Workshop

Women are often underpaid—not because they lack talent, but because they’re not given the tools or confidence to negotiate. This workshop is designed specifically for women in the workforce who want to close the gap and claim their value.

You’ll learn how to:

Research industry standards and salary benchmarks
Frame your accomplishments with clarity and impact
Practice effective, assertive negotiation language
Approach salary conversations with strategy and confidence

Whether you're preparing for a performance review, promotion, or job offer, this session will help you walk into the room informed, prepared, and empowered.

About the instructor
Simon Walsh

I love making things easier with technology. As head of CRM for TIAA's Retirement Solutions business I'm leading a Salesforce platform rollout for all of TIAA, including B2B and B2C sales teams and our service group, in total more than 5,300 people across the company.

As COO for New York Life’s annuity business, I linked marketing, sales and service on Salesforce and other low-code CRM platforms. I also led customer service and our distribution network of 300 banks and broker-dealers. In 2022 we closed a record $13.2B in sales - more than double 2021 - while reducing staff (with no layoffs). That was the result of 8 years of technology upgrades, process improvements and moving people to better work with brighter futures.

My 20+ year career at NYL, UBS and E*TRADE includes COO and CMO roles, P&L oversight, a background as a journalist and floor trader, and broad experience in a range of critical functions: digital transformation, marketing, sales, service, P&L management, CRM, Salesforce, cloud-based integrations, process improvement, customer experience, product development, and team building.
