Carol Frohlinger

Co-Founder & Author

Over the course of their careers women lose tens of thousands of dollars and untold opportunities because they avoid and fear negotiations. Co-author of Her Place at the Table and co-founder of Negotiating Women, Inc., Carol Frohlinger is an internationally known leading authority on the ways women can negotiate with authenticity to achieve their maximum personal and professional potential. Her depth of expertise and unique perspectives have empowered thousands of women to negotiate more confidently, competitively, and competently in all aspects of their lives. \n\nWith humor and practical advice she demystifies the negotiation process, providing women with the tools needed to advocate themselves and get results – not only for them, but for their organizations as well. High energy, a wealth of experience, and the ability to connect with audiences of all ages and stages of their careers result in audience comments such as “engaging”, “thought-provoking”, and “dynamic.” Even the most reluctant negotiators in her audiences agree that her presentations provide critical skills that enable them to “negotiate with the best of them!”.\n\nMicrosoft, JPMorgan Chase, the Healthcare Business Women’s Association, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, The Principal Financial Group, the New York State Bar Association, and the National Association of Women Lawyers are just a few of the organizations and professional associations to whom Carol has spoken, often calling upon her time and again to share her wisdom with employees, clients and members.\n\nHer advice has been featured by CBS MoneyWatch, NPR, Martha Stewart Living Radio, Newsday, Cosmopolitan Magazine, Women’s Health and The New York Times among other mainstream media. Frequently called upon to provide expert input by publications serving the legal and accounting professions, Carol also contributes articles to professional and association journals such as WomenLegal Magazine, Managing Partner and ALM Law Journal’s Marketing the Law Firm. \n\nAn affiliated faculty member of the Simmons School of Management, Carol is a former sales executive, commercial banker and practicing attorney. She holds a J.D. from Fordham University School of Law and is admitted to practice before New York and federal courts. \n\nCarol was selected by then Senator Hillary Clinton to lecture on the issue of pay equity for women and to serve on a panel with the Senator to address the causes and implications of the gender gap in pay. She has been honored by The International Alliance for Women with its “World of Difference Award” and was named to Top 50 Most Influential Women List by the Irish Voice. \nLiving by the maxim, “To those whom much is given, much is expected,” Carol serves as co-chair of the Best Practices Sub-Committee of the New York State Bar Association’s Committee on Women in the Law; and volunteers with The InterOrganizational Network (ION), an organization that focuses on increasing the number of women on the boards of America's publicly held companies. \n\nCarol lives in New York City with her husband and is the proud parent of a daughter and son.
