Wanna Know If You’re Valued? Ask For This

January 20, 2019

S3:Ep 3
Wanna Know If You’re Valued? Ask For This
It’s that time of year….Performance Evaluation time!   You think this may be the perfect time to ask for a raise or a promotion, but before you do, listen to this episode!
Black Women are making 63 cents on every dollar of our white male colleagues.  In order to #GetYourWholeDollar, we need to understand the answers to two questions:
1. Are we valued? 
2. Does our compensation reflect our value?
In this episodes we discuss when and when not to ask for a raise or promotion and how you should plan and prepare for a career discussion with your manager focussed on career pathing, raises and promotions.
At IGNITION, Business Insider asked real estate mogul and “Shark Tank” host Barbara Corcoran to share her advice on how to successfully ask your boss for a raise. Corcoran also talked about what you should do if you receive an offer from another company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWxoI0RrPvc
