About Lea Goldman
At a 2018 SheBelieves Summit, Lea Goldman, then editor-in-chief of Lifetime Television, spoke about self-esteem, confidence, and motivation. She cited survey findings that men apply for jobs when meeting 60% of qualifications while women apply only when meeting 100%, and that 46% of men always negotiate salary after a job offer compared to 30% of women. Goldman stated that the gender pay gap begins with a first job and that men account for 75% of conversation in conference rooms. She advised attendees to put away phones during meetings, ask for informal reviews, attend conferences, and network by following up with speakers. Goldman encouraged young women to negotiate for small salary increases on first job offers to build the habit, and said mistakes should be owned and leveraged as opportunities.
