Lower your stress, boost your savings
Massachusetts Conference for Women
The largest women's conference in the country, with inspirational keynote speakers, breakout sessions and networking.
"I've been poor, and I've been rich,” Mae West famously said. “Rich is better."? No doubt! But women also face some unique financial challenges, including having less money in savings on average than men and navigating the gender pay gap.? More specifically, as a recent study showed,?
Of course, you can find plenty of suggestions about how to improve your finances online. But this Financial Literacy Month, we want to dive beneath the surface to understand how women can develop a better relationship with money and its close cousin, negotiation. We spoke with two inspiring experts, author Meg Myers Morgan and Bank of America’s Angela Antonio. We also have two great conversations from our podcast archives with financial gurus, Tiffany Aliche and Suze Orman. May they help lower your stress and boost your savings!?

Negotiation can be a provoking word, especially for women, as Meg Myers Morgan, Ph.D., said in a recent talk at the 2024 National Conference for Women.?
But Morgan is on a campaign to reclaim negotiation as a way to simply ask for what you want in the workplace, at home, or anywhere else. That begins, she says, by dispelling some common myths, including that negotiation is about conflict, being manipulative, and a zero-sum game.?
To each of those, Morgan says nope.?
So, how has she learned about the true art of negotiation??
Yes, she has worked with hundreds of people to negotiate higher salaries, better work schedules, and stronger professional relationships. She’s written the book Everything Is Negotiable. She’s an associate professor at the University of Oklahoma and received her executive and leadership coaching certification from Columbia University.?
But the real story begins with watching her daughters. Check out the conversation here.
