What happens when you're doing everything right at work—exceeding expectations, holding down the fort, and driving results—yet your career still feels stuck in neutral?
Sylvia’s situation is one many will relate to: a key team member seeking recognition, stability, and clarity in a workplace that hasn’t quite delivered.
This is part 3 of a 3-part series, and in this episode, we go through the process of using powerful negotiation tools, including the concept of a BATNA, emotional preparation, and subtle signaling.
In the second part of this episode, our listener question is: Negotiate?! In this economy? How do you negotiate during uncertain and chaotic times? Shouldn’t I just be grateful to have a job?
