Are You Still Underpaid… or Just Afraid to Ask?

👉 Do you want to earn more—but panic at the thought of negotiating?

👉 Feel like you should be grateful for your job, even if you're overworked and underpaid?

👉 Or maybe you tried asking once... and heard “no.” Now what?

✔️ How to use business priorities to frame your impact—and get that yes
✔️ What to do when they say “no” (hint: it’s not over)
✔️ The difference between confidence, charisma, and quiet power
