Below, Lean In shares some great tips for preparing for year-end review negotiations -- the only thing we'd adjust is regarding using "we" and "the team" -- it is also critical to make it clear what YOU did specifically. Using "I" statements creates clarity on your impact and accomplishments. E.g., "The team surpassed our sales goal by X amount! In particular, I was able to get our sales process functioning more optimally and that helped all members of the team be more efficient. I'm glad I was able to help by leading that effort!" (that makes it a both/and situation) Now, go off and own your worth! #womenatwork #negotiationskills #femalefounders
Women are more likely than men to have their skills go unrecognized and be passed over for raises or promotions. That makes it more important to carefully prepare for negotiations in advance. These steps can help. For more tips, check out our newly launched #WomenAtWorkCollection — a leadership training program designed specifically for women by women. The Collection will help you build new leadership skills, navigate bias, and advance your career. https://bit.ly/4861Ohc
