The Do’s and Don’ts of negotiating a raise

 Summary:

 Being paid fairly for your work is always a hot topic issue.  In fact, if you’ve been at your company for quite a while, you should consider asking for a raise.

 And it’s not just an intellectual exercise.

Not getting a raise can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your career and you might be missing out on valuable buffers against inflation.

 But it’s not about asking for a raise – it’s about learning how to negotiate that raise.  It’s a difficult conversation especially if you are squeamish talking about money or touting your own accomplishments. 

 In today’s episode, Lucie and Chris walk through the Do’s and Don’ts of difficult conversations around negotiating a raise.

 They cover:

 And teach you how NOT to do it, including:

Then they demonstrate how to do the conversation in two different scenarios. 

Let us know what you think – what could Chris have done differently to negotiate his raise?

In this episode, we sit down with Aries Yeo, a former banking executive turned leadership coach, to discuss how her cultural background and upbringing make it often difficult for her to speak up. She provides insights into how her value of authenticity gives her the courage to overcome these cultural barriers and personal fears and enables her to engage in meaningful dialogues.

Key Takeaways:

Can you relate to her experience? What gives you the courage to speak up even when you as a child were discouraged to? How did you learn to find and own your voice?
