They have gone all out with this unique web event!Here is how it works: You 'buy' a celebrity online (with faux money, of course), and when she steps out in a fabulous outfit, she goes up in value. But if your girl is caught in a 'what was she thinking?' ensemble, she drops in value, and so does your standing in the game.
Degree Women Ultra Clear has made the stakes high. The ultimate style seeker could win: - First-class round trip flights to Los Angeles with 3 friends - Accommodation in a luxurious suite for 3 nights - A $10,000 Little Black Dress shopping spree with a professional stylist to be shared with your three friends - Stretch limo service around town- Not to mention weekly prizes that consist of Le Chateau gift cards, and Little Black Dress Beauty Kits.

The third annual Women’s Executive Forum (WEF) is designed to enhance your leadership skills by teaching you how to become a better negotiator, be more persuasive in all of your daily encounters, and understand how gender can affect the process.
The Forum features two in-depth, half-day sessions by Fromm & Goodhand:
- Getting the Negotiation Edge.
- Persuasion - Gaining the Power to Influence.
Getting The Negotiation Edge
We negotiate all day long, from the breakfast table to the boardroom. The results of those negotiations affect the quality of our lives, the resources we get for a project, the assignments we land and the compensation we receive for our work. Moreover, smaller negotiations fold into larger ones that determine compensation for an entire career, our relationships at work, and how we’re viewed as leaders.
As a professional woman and a leader, are you as effective in negotiation as you would like to be? Recent research has shown that even if you are a seasoned negotiator, as a woman you may be leaving value on the table. In this powerful and practical half-day seminar you will learn not only how to get the best results with a repertoire of negotiation strategies, but also to navigate socialized habits that may be undermining your success and leadership at work. You will learn how to communicate effectively, recognize negotiating pitfalls and opportunities, and apply negotiation skills to everyday situations.
Persuasion: Gain The Power To Influence
The ability to persuade others is fundamental to leadership success. With clients, co-workers, teams and direct reports, the art of persuasion allows you to influence, motivate, gain agreement, and get great results.
This intensive half-day seminar will teach you the art of persuasion. From the major negotiation to the casual conversation, you will learn the principles and skills to bring others onside with your thinking. You will learn the psychology of persuasion, how to craft persuasive arguments and messages and how to apply negotiation principles to daily interactions for a more persuasive leadership presence. You will also learn how to resist the persuasive arguments of others so that you will never say “yes” again when you really mean to say “no.”
Gain the power to influence and gain agreement in all your daily encounters.
