This week on the podcast, Keri-Lynne, a former Chief People Officer, reveals the three areas where most professionals fall short: networking, interviewing, and negotiating. She shares her own eye-opening experience of leaving over a million dollars on the table by not negotiating early in her career, a common pitfall that contributes to the gender and racial pay gap.

(Did you know only 15-20% of people negotiate, and 87% of those who do get a "yes" to at least some of their requests?)

This episode is packed with actionable strategies:

• Networking: Learn how to strategically build your network, even with "cold" outreach (and why it works!), and how to become a thought leader on platforms like LinkedIn to attract opportunities. Keri-Lynne stresses that 80% of jobs are found through networking!
• Interviewing: Discover how to truly "tell me about yourself" to captivate interviewers in the first two minutes, move beyond simply regurgitating your resume, and leverage "impact sheets" to showcase your achievements using the STAR method.
• Negotiation: Uncover the secrets to salary negotiation beyond just the base pay. Learn how to respond when asked for salary expectations without locking yourself in, and explore the 20+ other benefits you can negotiate, from professional development to severance packages and sign-on bonuses (Keri-Lynne helped one client secure a $315,000 sign-on bonus!).

Don't miss this empowering discussion that will equip you to own your worth, navigate career transitions, and unlock your full potential.
