You work hard, you show up, and you’ve earned more but saying it out loud? That’s the scary part!
In this episode, we break down how to ask for a raise (or anything important in life) without the panic, awkwardness, or “I’ll just wait and hope” mindset because hope is not a strategy and when it comes to your career, you always need a plan and the mindset to match.
Inspired by negotiation expert and former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss, we walk through simple, powerful strategies that help you speak up with clarity and confidence no matter how nervous you feel.
You’ll learn:
Why most people ask the wrong way (and how to do it better)
How to shift from “please pick me” energy to calm, professional confidence
What to say when the answer is “not right now” without shutting down
And how to make the conversation about value, not just money
This isn’t about being pushy! It’s about being prepared! So if you’ve been holding back, waiting for someone to notice your work, this episode is your sign to stop waiting.
Let’s get you ready to ask like a boss and get what you deserve!
