How to Speak up for Yourself at Work - with Kim Nicol
Manage episode 407492831 series 3561122
I am talking to the wonderful Kim Nicol in this episode. Kim is a life coach, mindfulness teacher, and host of The New Manager Podcast. We focus on providing practical tips for self-advocacy and speaking up for oneself.
Speaking up for yourself or self-advocacy is a muscle we must develop in order to negotiate for our worth. So, our call to action is this - use every opportunity to practice this muscle.
Need a home office allowance? Ask.
Participate in volunteer work? Ask.
Want to be part of a high visibility project? Ask.
Equally important in advocating for yourself is the courage and ability to say "no." While many of us are aware of this, very few of us have the practice of saying 'no.' We often get inundated with to-do lists that end up blockading our progress.
Until we master these skills, we will continue to under-earn. Tune into this episode for some actionable tips that can make a real difference. Enjoy!
