How to Advocate for Yourself and Negotiate Your Worth

➡ Did you see the viral recruiter post from a few months ago, where they offered $85K for a role that had a budget of $130K, and the candidate did not negotiate?

😭 It's really painful when we realize we've left money on the table because we didn't speak up for ourselves.

🌟 This is the biggest reason I do what I do: I want to help you be your own best advocate.

I work with many mid-career women leaders who are underpaid for the role they're in and the value they bring - whether that's $75K or $500K. 100% of the people I talk with need a confidence boost. It says a lot about our work culture, doesn't it?

Here's what I can help you with:

➡ How to be your own best advocate

➡ How to develop confidence that will take you further in your career

➡ How to own your story so that you can show up as the leader you are.

Here's a quick, easy exercise to help you boost your confidence and be ready to negotiate salary, the next time you're interviewing or recruited for a new role.

Do this now so that you're ready - and if you need help, reach out and ask for it.

Think about the impact you've had in your current role.

➡ What were the 3 main highlights or wins? Can you quantify them?

➡ What were the steps to get there?

➡ How did you lead? (No matter where you are in your career).

➡ What was the effect or impact of that work?

➡ How did the company/organization benefit from your work (think big)?

➡ What's the bottom line? Can you quantify it?

🎯 When you connect these dots you have a story of your impact from beginning to end that moves from your contribution to the company's wins.

🎯When you do this background work about your biggest strengths and what you bring - unique just to you - then you can show up fully in the negotiation conversation.
