Are you tired of feeling undervalued and underpaid?
- Are you sick of having your contributions getting overlooked?
- Are you weary of others taking credit for your work?
- Are you tired of overperforming but being underpaid?
- Or worse, have you discovered that a colleague on your team or subordinate is getting paid more than you?
According to research by the World Economic Forum, as of 2021, women globally earned only 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. This disparity is even larger for some groups when broken down by race. Studies have shown that numerous factors contribute to the gender pay gap, including gender bias in negotiation.
It never feels good to feel undervalued and unappreciated.
It’s important to make sure these feelings don’t build into long-term unhappiness and resentment.
Own your value by learning how to negotiate.
I’M READY TO CLAIM MY VALUEHave you held back from negotiating because you didn’t want to seem “greedy”?
- Are you worried about what others will think if you negotiate too hard?
- Do concerns of harming your relationship with your boss overwhelm you?
- Is it difficult for you to firmly communicate your worth and negotiate a fair compensation package?
- Do you struggle to speak up or advocate for yourself?
- Are you often convincing yourself, “maybe next time,” only to find yourself waiting for what feels like forever?
A study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology in 2020 found that women are more hesitant to negotiate for higher salaries due to the fear of backlash - a fear that has been confirmed and validated by gender bias research.
Studies from Harvard researchers show that women who negotiate for higher pay are often perceived as more demanding or less likable compared to men, furthering the gender pay gap.
“I don’t want to seem greedy” is a common hesitation amongst women when negotiating - it’s not just you! - but it’s important to know that bias is coming into play.
These challenges may have been holding you back and limiting your potential for professional growth and financial success.
No one wants to walk away from a negotiation feeling like they've lost 🙁
Yet, many negotiations end in a win-lose scenario, leaving one party unsatisfied or resentful.
Release the fear of seeming “greedy” and learn to negotiate focusing on the Win-Win solution for all parties!
I’M DONE WAITING. LET’S GO!Do you feel awkward, unnatural, or uncomfortable when trying to negotiate?
Many women feel pressure to negotiate without having learned the skills to do so. They may rely on simply being assertive.
Social media might trick you into thinking you just need to “be more confident!” as if it’s a light switch you can instantly turn on.
But simply being more confident doesn’t address the underlying issues - that you don’t know how to negotiate!
You might have a million questions:
- When is the right timing?
- What should I say?
- How much is too much?
- Is it better in an email?
A 2020 study at Dortmund University in Germany demonstrated that women who didn’t believe gender-specific negotiation strategies would work for them were more likely to rely on assertiveness. This led to worse outcomes.
You shouldn’t have to force yourself to be something that you’re not.
Learn to create a plan and know exactly what to say that feels authentic to you!
I’M READY TO LEARN!Imagine If…
- You could confidently walk into a negotiation because you had a clear, strategic plan
- You stood tall as you asked for what you want, because you knew it was a fair ask
- You effortlessly engaged in the conversation
- Your manager was impressed at how thoughtfully you approached the conversation and thanked you for being communicative
- You walk out giddy with excitement, finally having gained everything you were hoping for
This can be you!
This full online course equips you with the essential tools, knowledge, and mindset to become a skilled negotiator, enabling you to secure higher salaries, achieve career breakthroughs, and take control of your professional destiny.
So if you want to…
- be treated and compensated fairly

It's time to take the leap and unlock your negotiation potential!
If you find yourself saying “I think I should learn how to negotiate but…”
“I really don’t think my boss can afford to pay me more.”
Sure, negotiating is about salary but it’s about much more than that… it’s about negotiating your workload, scheduling flexibility, deadlines, resolving conflicts amongst your colleagues, etc.. FNW will teach you how to do all of it. Not only that, FNW teaches you how to apply negotiation concepts in personal relationships. A lot of feedback we receive from clients is how surprised they are at how helpful the skills are when trying to resolve conflicts with family members.
“My boss means well! They’re not a bad person.”
Your boss is likely not a mean person! They are just busy trying to do their job. Your salary or other areas you want to negotiate won’t be a priority for them because they are so busy with other things. FNW will teach you how to make sure your request does NOT get lost in the shuffle.
“I’m hesitant to spend this much on a course…”
This course will pay for itself. We understand that the investment in the FNW Course may seem higher compared to other offerings. However, it's important to note that our course goes beyond surface-level negotiation tips that you might find on social media, or other teaching sites. We provide you with a comprehensive, research-backed curriculum developed by negotiation experts, including our founder Joan Moon, who brings her experience and insights gained from working with leading gender experts at Harvard. In comparison, similar live negotiation workshops from the same Harvard experts run upwards of $10k or more. The value you receive from the course, including the skills, knowledge, and empowerment to transform your negotiation abilities and unlock opportunities, far exceeds the initial investment.
“What if I still have questions at the end of the course?”
When joining the course you will also receive access to regular drop-in office hours with Joan the founder, to ask questions specific to your negotiation.
These are some of the hesitations clients say before joining FNW. It’s totally understandable, you’re not the only one who feels uncertain. But don’t just take it from us…
Here are what some of my hundreds of clients have said about learning the ASPIRE Framework™:
Joan broke down the daunting idea of negotiation into small steps — making the goals concrete and manageable. She introduced common misconceptions about negotiation and a starting point for women to position themselves for better outcomes!

The best part of the framework is that it addresses most of your queries in the upcoming sections - so it is indeed very thoughtfully crafted.

I love the simple and practical framework…And the reminder that, “if you see more situations as negotiations, then we see more situations as negotiable!” Cheers to that!

Thank you! I feel so much more empowered to negotiate confidently and not go into it shy-ly.

Introducing The ASPIRE Framework™
One of the highlights of the Fundamentals of Negotiation for Women course is the ASPIRE Framework™. .
This proprietary 6-part framework, developed by Moon Negotiation, provides a structured approach to negotiation.
It guides you through the key stages of negotiation preparation, from Assessing the situation to Executing strategies that yield results.
By mastering the ASPIRE Framework™, you'll have a systematic and effective approach to negotiation that sets you up for success.
Each step is broken down into modules containing high-quality 4k video training and an easy-to-follow downloadable workbook.
Here is a sneak peek into each module:
Module 1: ASSESS
In the first module, you'll work on assessing your mindset and addressing common blockers such as hesitation and fear that may hold you back in negotiations.
Research found that individuals who underwent training focused on mindset experienced significant improvements in their negotiation performance.
That is why the first module addresses mindset and aims to expand and redefine the concept of negotiation, creating a more empowering perspective for you to approach negotiations with confidence.
Module 2: STRATEGIZE
In the second module, you'll learn how to map out your negotiation from start to finish and prepare for new negotiations right from the beginning. This module emphasizes the importance of being aware of all parties involved in a negotiation, framing it to benefit everyone, and outlining each party’s desires to gain a comprehensive understanding of the negotiation landscape. These strategies, developed by Harvard professors of negotiation, are the fundamentals taught in all negotiation classes and have been tested in thousands of scenarios and settings.
Module 3: PLAN
The third module is all about negotiation tactics. You'll create a SOFT plan, which includes Sequence, Options, Framing, Timing & Context. This approach sets up your negotiation for success by thinking ahead of the ideal sequencing of opportunities and threats, anticipating events that can create opportunities for you, presenting options that increase your chances of coming to an agreement, using win-win framing, and considering the best timing and context for a positive reception of your proposal.
Module 4: INVESTIGATE
Module four emphasizes the importance of investigation throughout the negotiation process in order to navigate gender bias. You'll learn how to reduce ambiguity by asking direct or open-ended questions and utilizing paper resources and people resources to gather valuable information and insights that can help you in your negotiation.
Module 5: RECALIBRATE
In the fifth module, you'll focus on the importance of recalibration during the negotiation process. Recalibration involves adjusting your approach and strategy based on new information or changing circumstances. You'll learn to apply Bayesian inferencing tactics, a method that helps you update the probability for a hypothesis as more evidence or information becomes available. This module will also guide you in recalibrating your own positions and interests while encouraging you to keep your heart and mind open to new perspectives and possibilities.
Module 6: EXECUTE
The final module ties everything together and helps you execute a successful negotiation. You'll focus on tactics, psychological and emotional preparedness, and preparing for every micro-step along the way.

Read some more client love notes on their experiences with Joan and hesitate no longer!
I'm a woman of color who is shy about negotiating, and after a long job search during the pandemic, my confidence and self-worth were waning. At many points, I felt pressure to take job offers that did not meet some of my major requirements (salary, opportunities for growth). Joan asked me the sharp questions that helped me avoid making a decision out of desperation, reminded me of the value I bring to the table, and helped me work through my fear that negotiating would make future employers perceive me as greedy and indecisive… As a result, I went into each negotiation call feeling prepared, asked for the true value of what I wanted, and left feeling more confident about my value and my decision. In a world of ambiguity and indecision, Joan was a voice of reason.
-Priyanka K.
Joan’s guidance kept me focused on what I wanted throughout a lengthy and at times complicated interview process… A skilled negotiator, with an unmatched ability to see the big picture, Joan was consistently able to map the players, help clarify interests, and keep my focus where it mattered. She suggested tactics that none of my peers did. She helped me manage the complicated process of interviewing for and then negotiating with two potential employers at once - leveraging the conversations to my advantage, rather than allowing the pressures and requests from each co-current hiring processes to cause stress or lead me to a decision that I was not ready to make. I would not recommend going into an executive-level search without someone like Joan in your corner! I ended up with exactly the outcome I was working towards – job, compensation, and outstanding working relationship at the organization that I really aspired to join. Without a doubt, I credit Joan’s coaching for that result.
-Michal R.
A year after joining the organisation I work for, I realized that my salary was not in line with my previous experience and current performance. I did not negotiate my salary when I first joined and had no idea of what to expect for my level for someone of my profile. I reached out to Joan to express my desire to negotiate and ask for help…. In addition to helping me figure out how to determine what I should ask for, she helped me communicate my expectations to my boss, which was very useful. She taught me a valuable skill, which is being patient and gave me advice on how to approach the negotiation step by step and how to make the right move at the right time. I actually ended up obtaining a 22% salary increase and a move to the upper category, which better matched my experience level. I am very grateful for that.
-Aminata D.
Joan was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough …I felt incredibly prepared to walk into my negotiation since we had come up with valid points and thoroughly discussed my situation… I could not have had such a successful negotiation if it wasn't for the coaching. Joan helped me negotiate an 18% raise.
-Manuela G.
In a follow-up coaching session, Joan was extremely patient in understanding my queries and answering them in as much detail as feasible.
