Episode notes
Document Wins To Demand Raises Confidently
- Build a 'raise receipts' folder: save praise, performance metrics, and client wins throughout the year to support annual raise requests.
- Present accomplishments, ask for 10–15% more, then stop talking and let your manager respond.
Get A Mentor To Learn Money Jargon
- Learn financial jargon and find a mentor who will answer 'stupid questions' about FICO scores, 401k, APRs to boost confidence.
- Mentors can be colleagues, professors, community leaders or anyone who explains terms plainly.
Reframe Women's Ambition Around Money
- Cultural messages shame women for wanting wealth, yet data shows women often manage finances responsibly and own more homes than single men.
- Reframing ambition as normal for women reduces stigma and unlocks confidence in negotiations and investments.
