  • Most women don’t ask. It’s time for you. If you’ve been hesitant or nervous about asking for a raise but know you want to land that pay increase, this episode is for you! Learn 8 strategies to get a “yes” from your boss.

    Here’s a sneak peek:

    Tackle your self-doubt. Recognize that you are worthy of asking. This is a business deal. There’s no shame in asking. List your accomplishments. Both tactical deliverables (the more specific, the better - numbers are best when possible) and character/personality strengths that make you likable and easy to work with. Support your case with why you deserve this.Know your number and be specific. What do you want? Ideal number and also what you will settle for. Do your research and know what’s standard or typical for the company. 3% is generally standard. Some companies have both merit and standard of living increases.Keep your boss’s and the company’s interests in mind. What matters to your boss? Where does your potential raise intersect with what they want?Be confident and considerate. Be mindful of body language, tone, and words that can make you sound hesitant. Don’t waffle or waver.Paint a positive picture. What will this enable you to do for the company and how will it help you be more engaged/dedicated, etc?Practice in advance with a friend or coach. Anticipate questions and objections.Be clear on next steps - if it’s a “no” ask why (what is the logic/help me understand) and use it as a learning. Ask what you can do going forward, ask if you have their support and be persistent with a timeline - can we revisit this in 3 months?

Instead of fixing it, ask what is needed.Establish clear boundaries for yourself to prevent burnout. Prioritize self-care and ensure you're taking care of your physical and emotional well-being.Ask for what you need! Communicate your needs to friends, family, and other support networks to avoid feeling overwhelmed.Take time to reflect on your emotions, frustrations, and losses associated with the situation. Give your negative feelings space to be processed. That alone is therapeutic.Find moments of joy and positivity amidst the challenges. Laughter and positivity can co-exist with pain, and maintaining a hopeful outlook can significantly affect your ability to cope!

    My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: 

    https://karenlaos.com/book/

  • Tangible Takeaways:

    Look at all the rules that you’ve been handed, and ask: which of these do I want to keep carrying with me and which ones do I want to break?Your worth is not connected to achievement, success, or how your body looks. These rules create shame or make you feel “too much:A part of creating change and understanding the rules is calling them out, and then purposely start to break the ones that no longer work for you. You don't need to throw everything away, but you get to choose!Adopt an attitude of experimentation. Tell yourself “I’ll just trying it out.” Shedding and choosing your own rules is not a permanent decision that has to be forever.

  • Tangible Takeaways:

    Communicating with clarity takes intention!Your audiences need structure to know where you're headed and what you're doing. Otherwise, they're going to get lost and tune out.When you start any message, whether it's a voice message, voicemail, or voice memo- front load it with why you're sharing it or what you want from the conversation.If you notice yourself rambling, stop, pause, and say aloud, “My point is this…” That will repair the rambling episode and make you appear more focused.When you're communicating with clarity, pausing is a beautiful skill to have. It shows control, people listen, and is directly linked to credibility.

  • Tangible Takeaways:

    Remember: people want to be pursued!Follow up beyond your comfort level. With high ticket offers, you need to follow up a minimum of nine times, and it could even be years before they are ready to buy.It is tempting to ask passively because it feels more comfortable, but resist this urge and ask with clarity.Anticipate the next step and make the process easy. Schedule your next follow-up before you end the conversation! You are not bothering anyone. Remember how busy you are and your own buying journey. It typically requires an extended hand from someone else. Always be nurturing people around you. Be kind, thoughtful, and generous. Communicate your value and share how you solve a problem for someone else.

  • Tangible Takeaways:

    The goal is to project the image that you want to project.Have a point, and stick to it! You can do this by deciding your point in advance and sharing this upfront. People need to receive information with the point first, and details after, not the other way around.Avoid data dumping! We can think this boosts your credentials, but in reality, people can only take in so much information at once. Keep it simple.Make sure your message is relevant to your audience, and be wary of the curse of knowledge. Instead of shutting down new ideas, make sure that you are open. Even if you tried that idea before, give it 5 minutes of consideration and allow brainstorming to happen.Make sure expectations are clear, not unspoken, by asking, “What does ‘done’ look like to you?”State the “why” up front! Make sure everyone on your team understands the why behind projects and tasks so they’ll be more motivated to do them.

  • Tangible Takeaways:

    Often when we are stuck, it’s because we’re not making a decision. It is better to decide and move forward than stay stagnant! If you make a wrong decision, it’s ok! You learned something. This will make you better at your next move. We get burdened with the “how”, and we forget that there is a “why”. If you're on a path and what you're participating in always goes back to the why, then you're on the right path.Understand what you're good and not good at, and be okay with that.Don't be so bogged down by the details that you're afraid to take the leap. When this happens, make sure you have just enough information, and leap.
