When was the last time you got a raise?
What about the last time you advocated for a raise?
In my own career it took me years until I had the confidence to start to ask for what I believed I was worth. And I’m a straight white man.
It’s a very different story for women in the workforce, and the gap between what men and women get paid for the same job in our country is 12%. That is not insiginificant.
Thankfully, Meggie Palmer is here to help.
A former foreign correspondent, she now heads the tech startup PepTalkHer.com - a platform deigned to help women in the workforce advocate for themselves around better conditions, a better career path and ultimately better pay.
Meggie is an absolute powerhouse. We caught up across the pacific from where she lives in Brooklyn and this conversation had me rearing to go when it comes to my next negotiation - I hope it will do the same for you.
