In this episode:

In today’s episode of the Career Change Maker podcast, I’m talking about the sensitive yet empowering topic of asking for what you want in your career without feeling guilty about it.  When we are young, we are so committed to what it is we want, or don’t want. As adults, we can lose that courage of our convictions as we fall into people-pleasing habits. It can also make us feel too vulnerable to admit these desires. In order for you to answer what you want without feeling guilt, you need to realise and accept your goals and then understand that your desires and inclinations are valid, regardless of the response you may get from external opinions. Tune in as I share strategies, stories, and give actionable advice to empower you to ask for what you deserve in your career.

Summary:

What you will learn in this episode:

• Understanding your worth - realising that your needs and desires are valid and being able to fully use effective communication by learning to express your wants clearly and confidently.
• Understanding the importance of setting healthy boundaries as well as learning how to deal with rejection - develop resilience when faced with 'no'.
• Cultural and gender considerations - explore how different backgrounds can affect our ability to ask freely.
