As women, we are blazing through different industries and professions that were not very popular among women for many years, and what a great time to make our mark wherever we may find ourselves. As Latinas, it is so important to have a seat at the table and be that example for other Latinas to be able to see that it is possible, and more than ever we know how important it is to feel represented in different industries and spaces. 

In this episode, Laura talks to Ana Lopez, a certified sex coach, about her experience working in a field where not many Latinas are present. This is a very interesting conversation full of motivation and inspiration to help you go after your dreams and really focus on what you truly want, not just what seems to be the easiest route!

As a Latina growing up and seeing her parents' efforts every day to give her and her sister a better future, Laura knew her responsibility was to make them proud by having a profitable career with a high-paying job that would enable her to help them financially later on and that was one of the reasons she became an Engineer! 

What she never knew until recently was that she could negotiate her salary and accept and highlight the value that her experience and knowledge bring to the company she works for!

Join Laura as she interviews Claudia Miller to discover actionable tips to negotiate a salary increase strategically!

Claudia Miller, a career coach that helps her clients get anywhere between $15k-$50k salary increases is on the podcast bringing us a wealth of knowledge so we can all feel empowered to negotiate that salary increase that we deserve!
