Sara Laschever

SARA LASCHEVER has spent her career investigating the challenges that shape women’s lives at work. She is the co-author, with Linda Babcock, of Women Don’t Ask, the groundbreaking study that focused public attention on the forces preventing women from negotiating on their own behalf, and Ask for It: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What They Really Want, a negotiation training primer for women trying to scale the barriers in their path. A highly sought-after speaker, Laschever lectures and teaches workshops to corporate audiences, colleges and universities, law firms, government agencies, and women’s leadership conferences in the U.S. and around the world. She is frequently cited in the national and international media as an expert on women’s leadership, the persistence of the wage gap, women and conflict resolution, and the multiple factors influencing women’s long-term career success. @sklasch
