A Distinguished History
Founded in 2015 through partnerships with Columbia University’s Negotiation School and The Negotiation Institute, WIN Summit merges theory with hands-on training.
FOUNDING PARTNERS
Columbia University’s Negotiation & Conflict Resolution Program emphasizes interactive, dialogue-based methods focused on building common ground, practical skills, and fostering relationships through inclusive representation and recognition.
The Negotiation Institute, founded in 1966 by Gerard I. Nierenberg, is the world’s first and longest-running negotiation training organization, offering expertise in negotiation, sales, leadership, and supply chain management.
Established at Barnard College, a pioneering force in undergraduate women’s education since 1889, the Athena Center for Leadership Studies is dedicated to the advancement of inspired and courageous women leaders around the world.
Importance of WIN
Women continue to face unique challenges in the workplace, from pay disparity to limited leadership opportunities. Statistics reveal that only a fraction of executive roles are held by women, and negotiation challenges persist across industries. WIN Summit addresses these barriers directly, equipping women with the knowledge and confidence to redefine their professional journeys.
As of 2023, women held 10.4% of leadership positions at Fortune 500 companies.
Women are 2.5 times more likely than men to feel apprehension about negotiating
In 2023, women were paid 22% less than men on average
