Gayle King on Knowing Your Worth

Listen Later

What does it actually mean to know your worth at work? This week, we asked the queen of confidence (and of morning TV), Gayle King, how she found hers. She told us her self worth came from years of salary negotiations, building strong support systems, navigating setbacks, and dealing with tough bosses. 


In this episode, Gayle shares: 

  • Her mindset going into negotiations
  • How she gained a sense of self worth as a junior reporter
  • Why tough moments and failure can add to self worth 
  • How she leans on her support system 
  • Why celebrating other people’s success adds to your self worth (hi, Oprah) 
  • How she dealt with being underestimated
