Negotiation is a survival skill that women have to cultivate.
The past two years have wreaked havoc on many women's lives. We are constantly torn in countless directions - managing a family, supporting our communities, trying to stay safe and healthy.
Meanwhile, we must also somehow continue to advance in our professional endeavors - whether that is climbing the corporate ladder or growing a business.
Negotiation plays a pivotal role in our success. The Take Charge Negotiations Accelerator shows you how to develop mindfulness practices in your daily life and at the negotiation table to help you avoid burnout, remain focused, and clear on your priorities.

Our Innovative Approach
Compass by Take Charge Negotiations®™
Compass by Take Charge Negotiations®™ is our proprietary approach to negotiation strategy. This methodology is based on the intertwining of negotiation theory and practice with mindfulness and positivity in problem-solving and decision-making.
The way we approach decisions and address problems is similar to a journey. With each, there are many ways you can choose to go. The choices you make will likely impact your experience - whether the path before you is rough or smooth, exposed or shaded, filled with peaks and valleys or a straight shot. . .
In making the choices that will create your best path forward, you need a guidepost to make sure you are headed in the right direction and to keep you on that path.
Compass is our method for helping you clear such a path.

“Erin has taught me to truly listen to opposite opinions instead of turning them off when I disagree. I’ve also been able to apply this to my personal life and listening and trying to understand a different perspective has brought for a more peaceful environment when difficult issues present themselves - especially during lockdown. This really works for me.”

Why Take Charge?
No other company provides Mindful Negotiation training that is tailored to female leaders. And I know from personal experience how vital this is for your continued success.
I'm Erin Gleason Alvarez, Founder & CEO of Take Charge Negotiations, LLC. Our mission is to provide unapparelled negotiation educational experiences using mindfulness techniques. My vision for Take Charge is to transform negotiation into a dialogue grounded in positivity and mindfulness.
As an attorney, mediator, and arbitrator, I have sat around thousands of negotiation tables over my 20-year career. Off the top of my head, I was the only woman in the room at 70% of those tables. And while most of the conversations were completely innocuous, the bad ones stuck with me. For many years, I could not figure out what to do with the feelings anger and frustration that often came up, and lingered, for me. Fortunately, I found mindfulness, which has been key to staying grounded, focused, and happy.
