There is a conversation you have been putting off. You know exactly which one. The one with your boss about leaving. The one with your spouse about needing something different. The one about what you are actually worth. Most people treat these conversations as optional, but in this episode, you will understand why their important and you'll hear the exact words three real people used to navigate difficult career conversations and what changed on the other side.

What You'll Learn:

  • How Holly told her boss she was leaving after 20 years in law — without a speech, without a plan, and without burning a single bridge — and what she said in that first ten minutes that made all the difference
  • Why most people wait until they have a finished plan before involving their partner in a career change decision and why that approach is what makes the conversation harder than it needs to be
  • The single most powerful question to ask in any salary negotiation according to negotiation expert Kwame Christian, and why it works when everything else feels too aggressive or too passive
  • Kwame's three-step Compassionate Curiosity Framework for navigating any difficult conversation — with your boss, your partner, or yourself — and why step one happens before you ever open your mouth
  • Why the biggest negotiation mistake is not recognizing when the negotiation is already happening
