Thrive Network for Women presents: Negotiation, Power, & Money
About this Event
Negotiation, Power, & Money
A Thrive Network for Women Event
Real talk on money, power, and the negotiations that change everything.
Join us for an evening that goes beyond the usual advice on "asking for what you deserve." This event pairs an unfiltered fireside chat with a hands-on workshop, giving you both the perspective and the practical tools to negotiate with confidence — in your career, your compensation, and your everyday work life.
Fireside Chat: Power Moves
Money. Power. Balance. Kick off the evening with a candid conversation between Nadia Hansen and Tissa Richards on what it really takes to negotiate for yourself inside real institutions and real careers.
Nadia Hansen has sat on both sides of the enterprise table — as the executive who said yes or no to major technology decisions, and now as the strategist helping organizations earn that yes. As former CIO of Clark County, Las Vegas, she led digital transformation for 2.3 million residents, a $100M+ budget, and 200+ staff, navigating vendor negotiations, procurement complexity, and institutional risk at scale. Today at Salesforce, she builds go-to-market strategy for AI in the public sector and is the creator of The AI Deployment Bridge™. She brings a rare vantage point on power, leverage, and decision-making under pressure — lessons that apply just as much to negotiating your own worth as they do to negotiating an enterprise deal.
Tissa Richards is a leadership expert, keynote speaker, and award-winning author of No Permission Needed and Rethinking Resilience. A repeat tech founder and CEO, she coaches Fortune 1000 companies, high-growth startups, and C-suite leaders on identifying and communicating their value with unshakeable confidence. In this conversation, Tissa will share a real story of guiding someone through a high-stakes salary negotiation — the strategy behind it, the mindset shifts required, and what actually happened when it counted.
Expect honest stories on career growth, office politics, and the everyday realities of corporate life — all through the lens of money, power, and work-life balance. No scripts, no buzzwords, just real conversation.
Workshop: No Permission, No Excuses — Building Your Intentional Resilience Playbook
Following the fireside chat, stay for a hands-on workshop led by Tissa Richards that turns insight into action.
Drawing from her books No Permission Needed and Rethinking Resilience, Tissa will guide attendees through her signature frameworks — including the Intentional Resilience Flywheel — to help you internalize your value, communicate it with confidence, and lead through pressure without losing yourself in the process. This is a working session, not a lecture: come ready to draft your own catalyst statement, practice articulating your value, and leave with tools you can use in your very next negotiation.
