143: How to Negotiate like a Pro-Athlete: leveraging counter-offers for Millions


Listen Later

Every hospital has a salary ceiling. 

It doesn’t matter if you’re the department workhorse, the highest RVU generator, your boss’s favorite, the national expert, or the one with all the papers…

EVEN IF you invented one pill that cures cancer, dementia, obesity, and depression, you won’t get paid 1 penny more…

At some point, you’ll hit the salary ceiling and the job won’t even keep up with inflation.

Your schedule will erode. Your job will deteriorate.

Not because of you or your boss.

But because every system has built-in limits.

In this week’s podcast you get the playbook to override any institutional limits PLUS my behind the scenes story of how I created THREE dream job offers in a couple of conversations without formally applying. 

This week you learn how to negotiate like a pro-athelete.

Pro athletes don’t wait around hoping for better contracts. They CREATE better contracts. 

When following this process, the wins are pro-athlete level too– MILLIONS of dollars, dream schedules, no call, 6-figure raises and signing bonuses.

BUT, this process done wrong can backfire bigtime. Don’t DYI this.

Here’s what you get in this week’s podcast  episode:

💸When to use this strategy and when to NOT use this strategy

💸How to maximize rewards and eliminate risks

💸How to break through your institution’s ceiling without more RVUs

💸Use competing offers to ethically create unprecedented raises and better schedules

💸How I created 3 DREAM  offers without formally applying anywhere

 

📝 JOURNAL PROMPTS

  1. Am I willing to move from my center? If no—don’t proceed on this strategy (and we still have so many negotiating options!).. If yes—keep going…

  2. How can I make this a win-win no matter what? What outcome would feel good whether I stay or go?

  3. What are my priority goals and values? What would my dream day look like—hour by hour? Be specific: salary, schedule, clinical time, admin time, team support, leadership roles, coaching opportunities, location, commute, childcare, anything else that deeply matters to you.

  4. What are three jobs that could meet these needs today?
  5.  
  6. What would make you excited to stay at your current job?
  7. Write it all down—salary, schedule, office setup, protected time, promotion, support, title, role clarity.

     

    💎Can I please ask you for a favor? Could you please share this podcast with your 5 favorite women physicians? THIS is how we solve the gender pay gap in our lifetimes.



    Your career will either grow on purpose…Or it will decline by default. Let’s make sure it grows. Check out this week’s podcast to Negotiate like a pro-athlete.
