Talk With TAS is a personal transformation and emotional wellness podcast featuring healing conversations about leadership, confidence, career growth, mindset shifts, resilience, and navigating professional transitions with clarity and purpose.

In this episode, Dr. Teresa A. Smith, Dr. TAS, welcomes career coach, former tech executive, and Interview Speak co-author Laura Brown for a practical and empowering conversation about interviewing, salary negotiation, career confidence, and why preparation matters more than people realize.

Through honest life conversations and career growth insight, Dr. TAS and Laura explore emotional wellness in the workplace, professional confidence, job interviews, career transitions, leadership, self-worth, salary negotiations, workplace culture, and how candidates can stop underselling themselves during the hiring process. This healing conversation also unpacks common interview mistakes, how to answer difficult questions, why interviewers ask what they ask, and how preparation helps people show up more confidently and authentically.

Laura shares insider hiring perspectives from years of training managers in global tech companies and explains how people can better position themselves in today’s competitive job market without shrinking their value.

If you are navigating layoffs, career shifts, interview anxiety, confidence struggles, workplace burnout, salary negotiations, or searching for practical career guidance, this episode offers grounded wisdom, professional insight, and transformational encouragement for your next step.
