Two years ago, the authors created The Shadow Negotiation LLC. This company offers corporate training and seminars on negotiation and leadership specifically designed for women. Its Web site theshadownegotiation.com is the first of its kind to make negotiation courses for women available online.

Deborah Kolb and Judith Williams first collaborated on "Where Have We Been and Where Are We Going: A Conversation with Professional Women," in which executive women in Boston explored the effects (and noneffects) of the women's movement on corporate life.

Subsequent collaboration produced The Shadow Negotiation: How Women Can Master the Hidden Agendas That Determine Bargaining Success (Simon & Schuster, 2000), which was named one of the Ten Best Books of the Year by the Harvard Business Review and won the Best Book Award from the International Association of Conflict Management. In 2003 Jossey-Bass published a revised and expanded paperback edition of The Shadow Negotiation titled Everyday Negotiation: Navigating the Hidden Agendas in Bargaining.
