How can I successfully negotiate? What if the job I want is with a group who “never negotiates?” How can I get my application into the right hands to begin with?

Have you ever asked yourself these questions? Have you wanted to negotiate at your current job but didn’t know where to start? Does the thought of negotiating at a new job interview make you diaphoretic and tachycardic? What’s the secret to a successful negotiation where you are paid what you’re worth?

Thankfully I have PA Lauren Spain on the podcast today to answer all these questions! Lauren details her career journey and how she crafted her unicorn PA job using the powers of networking and negotiating. Listen in to hear how you, too, can create your unicorn job and ensure that you’re paid what you’re worth. Because you, my friend, are worth a heck of a lot!

How many of you have discussed your own end of life wishes with your loved ones, completed your living will, and designated your healthcare proxy? How often do you ask your patients about their own healthcare proxies or end of life wishes? How comfortable do you feel having these conversations?

If you’re anything like me, talking about death and dying can be awkward, uncomfortable, and even scary. I often feel tongue-tied when I need to ask a patient their code status and don’t know the best phrases to use. 

Thankfully, I have Tracey Piparo as my guest on the show today! Tracey found her dream Unicorn Job as a Palliative Care PA, and she’s here to teach us how to talk about death with not only our patients, but also our own families. Tracey shares many pearls that every healthcare provider, regardless of specialty, can use in their practice to normalize the conversation around death.

Today, we embark on the first week of a transformative journey designed to guide you towards pinpointing the career of your dreams. With the wise words of Zig Ziglar in mind — "If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time" — this session is all about setting your sights high and aiming with precision. 

We introduce the "6 Key Decisions," six key steps designed to streamline your path through this significant transition and secure a position that not only meets but exceeds your aspirations.

This tool is the first step in gaining the clarity necessary to envision a successful career transition, focusing on critical areas such as setting, location, schedule, transformation, compensation, and deadline. These decisions are crucial as they lay the groundwork for the finer details that will propel your career forward.

As we dive into the six key decisions, we challenge you to deeply consider what truly excites you about your work, where you see yourself thriving, and how you envision your ideal work-life balance. From determining the exact role that sparks joy and excitement to selecting an ideal location and defining your preferred work schedule, each decision is aimed at aligning your career with your personal life and goals. 

We also delve into envisioning the transformation you seek in your life post-transition, setting realistic compensation expectations, and establishing a timeline for making your dream job a reality. This episode is not just about finding a new job; it's about crafting a career that brings fulfillment, balance, and joy into your life. By making these key decisions upfront, you're not only setting the direction for your job search but also for the life you want to lead.
