Ever been praised in public and panicked in private? That tension sits at the heart of our conversation with author, engineer, and international speaker 'Tine Zekis—who boldly reframes “imposter syndrome” as the byproduct of imposter systems. We move from naming the forces that sap confidence to rebuilding a mindset and strategy that raise pay, expand options, and restore a sense of belonging at work.
We dig into practical salary negotiation tactics—anchoring to the upper half of market data, framing contributions as outcomes, and collaborating on total compensation when base salary stalls. "Tine’s mantra, “know you’re worthy,” decouples identity from pricing so you can sell services with clarity and ask bigger without apology. We also explore patterns among mid‑career Black women: overperformance without promotion, self‑blame, and the moment you realize it’s time to move where your value is recognized. Her three gems—Believe it, Show it, Get it—offer a crisp playbook you can use this week.
This is purpose‑driven career design at its best: when Black women win, everyone wins. If you’re ready to pivot with less fear, negotiate with more data, and build wealth with intention, you’ll leave with mindset shifts, scripts, and next steps. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs the nudge, and leave a review to help more people find these strategies.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
