Kathryn interviews Author Beth Fisher-Yoshida.Negotiating isn’t easy. And for countless women, it’s exponentially harder. If you come across as fired up and assertive, you’ll face backlash from people who label you as unlikable, unhirable, intimidating, or bossy. If you’re amenable or meek, the negotiation falls apart. It’s no wonder 60% of women haven’t negotiated issues like workplace pay—at all. Though the world around us is rapidly changing, the antiquated stories about “how women should be” have not. By dumping this cultural baggage and writing a new story, women will strengthen their resolve and negotiation acumen—and get fast results. Pulling from 30-plus years of negotiation research and practice, Beth Fisher-Yoshida, a negotiation consultant for the United Nations, offers no-nonsense negotiation strategies for women of all ages. She’s a global expert and educator in intercultural negotiation and communication as well as the program director of Columbia University’s Master of Science in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution.Kathryn also interviews Chef Dale MacKay. Touring the world as Gordon Ramsay’s right-hand at his Michelin-starred restaurants, the first Top Chef Canada winner and AAA Five Diamond Award winning Chef Dale MacKay is gearing up for a huge 2023 as he competes in the upcoming new season of Bravo’s Top Chef: World All-Stars premiering on Thursday, March 9th. This time the chefs will return to the kitchen to battle it out throughout London before moving on to the grand finale in Paris. This epic showdown marks the first time the flagship edition of Top Chef has gone abroad for an entire season. His culinary career began as a fry cook in Vancouver. He then moved to London, where he began working at Gordon Ramsay’s Claridge’s, followed by stints in other Michelin-starred Ramsay restaurants in London, Tokyo, and New York City. He eventually returned to Vancouver to become the executive chef at Daniel Boulud’s Lumière restaurant.
