There's no question about it: negotiating can be hard. Whether you're asking for a raise, negotiating a job offer, or buying a car, it can be challenging to ask for what you want. But it's not just money where this shows up. Negotiating is a form of self-advocacy – standing up for what you want and need – and shows up for us personally, professionally and beyond. In this episode, Amanda shares her thoughts on:

• Why it's so important to learn how to negotiate or advocate for yourself
• How failing to do so lands us squarely in survival or suffering mode
• Things that get in the way of standing up for our needs
• How to approach negotiation and self-advocacy in an effective way

And more!

We train others how to treat us. And the treatment we accept heavily determines our outcomes. That's why it's so important to set standards for yourself that lead to outcomes you are worthy of receiving – and that starts with self-advocacy. Enjoy!
