“So I encourage folks to not use the word ask for more, especially for women, because we're done asking, we're here to negotiate.”- Kim
If you are in the space of feeling like you have to ask or beg to be taken seriously, to delegate, or to even get a raise, this episode is for you.
Today I am talking with Kim Tran, the owner of Your Work Inspires. She is a career negotiator and business coach leading women and communities of color, regardless of job title or industry to close the pay and wealth gap. She currently leads brand strategy for Top Fortune 10 programs in the edtech and online learning space.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Things you have to reflect on in your life to understand where you learned the unconscious bias of the pay and wealth gap.
- What language shift can do for us as women when we want more.
- How we get comfortable negotiating and taking up space can also impact our private lives.
My hope for this episode is that you learn to take up space and use your big CEO energy in and out of the office to get what you want. Tune in to listen to the incredible Kim teach us all how to do that!
About Kim Tran:
A former aspiring lawyer-turned-tech-marketer, Kim began her career working in media litigation and First Amendment law before jumping client-side with a global Fortune 500 media company.
