“One of the most impressive aspects of The Thoughtful Co.'s workshop was its focus on compensation
negotiation. This is an area where many women face significant challenges, and the workshop offered guidance on how to overcome these obstacles. We learned strategies for conducting research, presenting our value, and confidently negotiating for fair and equitable compensation. These workshops empower female professionals to take control of their career and strive for the recognition and compensation they deserve. Thank you, The Thoughtful Co, for your unwavering commitment to empowering women and
fostering their success.”

“The session was excellent and the feedback from our community was very positive with many benefiting from the interactive approach. The content was rich and informative and provided exceptional value to attendees. We look forward to collaborating with TTC again.”
“The content was helpful, relevant and from an expert in the field of compensation. I was really impressed with TTC's credentials, and it was valuable to learn tips I can use from someone who was typically on ‘the other side of the table’. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!”
"It was packed with great strategies for approaching the sometimes awkward conversation around compensation. I learned new approaches that I will try in my current job and feel more confident when I'm ready to change jobs. I would highly recommend attending!"
“The Thoughtful Co put on a terrific workshop for Edmonton CREW focusing on all aspects of compensation
and negotiation. They are incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in the 'why' and the how' of negotiation and were able to provide perspective on how compensation decisions are made on the executive level. Edmonton CREW highly recommends The Thoughtful Co. for group education workshops and our members look forward to working with TTC on an individual basis!”
- Jane Pascal, CREW Edmonton Director, May 2023
