When doing salary negotiation, who is more important – you or the person you are asking this question to?

That was the most impactful question I was asked in my latest podcast episode with Jamila Brown.

Jamila shares how in salary negotiations we tend to be worried about making the other person uncomfortable.

What if we flip the script and realize our family and our career goals are more important than the uncomfortable feeling of having a tough conversation?

When we truly know our goals and how we make an impact at work, we can confidently ask for what we want.

Tune into the episode for more practical steps to understand your worth and confidently negotiate your salary!
