What if in the spirit of Extreme Ownership and Self-Empowerment we saw part of the gap that exists as a result of us not being comfortable asking for more money? When we never ask or have the discussion about our initial salary, over an entire career we can fall short over $1 million in wages. Not negotiating your salary literally costs a fortune! Linda Babcock has a PhD in Economics, is a James M. Walton Professor of Economics, and is an expert on gender equity that researches equal pay and opportunity for women and girls to harness the power of negotiation. In this episode, Linda is sharing the blueprint we all need as women to become better negotiators. If you didn’t negotiate your last salary, if you’ve been avoiding making certain requests with your boss because it’s uncomfortable or you’re afraid of the pushback and possible negative reaction of asking for what you want, then THIS EPISODE IS A MUST FOR YOU! It’s easy to celebrate other people, and advocate why they are deserving of that promotion and salary increase, but it’s close to impossible when it comes to doing the same for ourselves. So, Linda is making this very practical and giving you the what, the why, and the how of getting what you want and negotiating like a pro. Here’s a hint, it starts with your mindset! Negotiation is a dialogue and a problem solving activity. The sooner you learn that questioning is a powerful strategy for negotiating and change your focus to having a discussion, and problem solving you’ll be way more comfortable and have much more success. Check out Linda Babcock’s books to take your negotiation skills to the next level.
