Ep 53: Mastering Salary Negotiations: Strategies for Senior Leaders

What does “knowing your worth” truly mean in the context of salary negotiations? In this episode, I challenge the notion that your salary is a reflection of your value as a person. Instead, we’ll explore how compensation is assessed by companies and why separating your self-worth from your job title is critical. You’ll learn practical tips for navigating high-stakes negotiations with clarity and confidence.

Discover how to research industry standards, leverage your network, and set realistic expectations for salary discussions. We’ll dive into strategies for senior leaders to confidently articulate their value without tying it to their inherent worth. Listen in to reshape your perspective on pay, professional value, and what truly matters in negotiations.
