No matter who you are or what kind of career you're aiming for, negotiation is a life-changing tool that will help you advocate your way into a career that aligns with how you work best...ESPECIALLY if you're a professional with ADHD, Dyslexia, or other neuro-divergent conditions.
Today I get the honor of introducing you to Juliarose Childs. She is the founder of Fe Negotiation, a company she created to equip womxn to advocate for themselves through negotiation preparation, practice, and personal coaching, offering a tangible way for every womxn to be involved in the fight for equal pay. Not only that, she also serves alongside another entrepreneur as the Integrator of the growth team at a legal tech startup, Skribe.ai.
While I couldn’t be more impressed with Juliarose’s gumption and creativity in the startup space, what I treasure even more about her is her generosity and openness in the way she shares about her journey with advocating for herself, as a professional learning to thrive with Dyslexia and ADHD.
Y’all should have seen the questions I came into this interview prepared to ask - I was fully ready to just talk about how to negotiate your compensation, but instead, we got an even richer conversation about how to advocate and negotiate EVERY part of your career, not just compensation, but even the roles itself, so you can thrive no matter what your circumstance is - even if you’re learning how to excel in systems that weren’t originally designed for neuro-divergent professionals like me and Juliarose.
It turns out we were both homeschooled after getting diagnosed with neuro-divergent conditions in our early years (me with ADD), leading to similar realizations about the school system and traditional corporate life not being environments that were made for us. In the process of figuring out a way to thrive, we both used an entrepreneurial spirit to figure out ways to make up our own careers by focusing on what we valued most. In it all, you’ll hear Juliarose share how you can advocate for yourself, no matter how you’re made and what you’re aiming for.
As you enjoy this conversation, remember that the best way to support the show is to text it to a friend and leave a review to let us know how this impacted you.
Enjoy!
