Why and how to ask for more

Why and how to ask for more

- When you're confident it's easier to ask for what you deserve and to put yourself out there for new opportunities. We all know the stats. Women earn 80% of what our male counterparts earn. While I was writing the book I had the opportunity to speak to so many women. And what I learned from them is that they didn't have the confidence to ask for more, even though they felt that they deserved it. In other situations women were in that people pleasing mode, where they didn't want to make waves. So if you're finding yourself in this situation I'd like to share some techniques that you can use when you're having the conversation with your manager.
