    113. How to Renegotiate Salary After Lowballing Yourself For an HR Role (Without Losing the Offer)

    Ever set a number in a phone screen for an HR Role... and then found out mid-interview process that the role is worth way more than what you agreed to? Sis, you're not alone. In this episode, I'm answering a question I got recently from someone with 8 years of HR experience who stayed inside a recruiter's stated range ($60–65K) — only to realize after more research that she should've started in the 70s. We're breaking down: Why the number you give in a phone screen becomes the benchmark the entire process anchors toThe real risk of trying to "correct" your number mid-process (and why it can get you pulled from consideration)When and how to counteroffer the right way — and how big of a jump is actually reasonableWhy leading with "I have X years of experience" during negotiation actually loses you moneyThe 3X framework: how to position yourself as revenue, not an expense, so companies want to pay you moreWhy I'm not a fan of sticking inside a posted salary range — and what to say insteadIf you've ever taken an offer that felt lowballed, you know the slow burn of regret that follows. This episode is about making sure that's not your story.

    112. 5 Strategies HR Leaders Need for Difficult Conversations (With Employees, Your Boss, Business Partners, and at Home)

    Most HR leaders didn't sign up to be the "hard conversation" person. And even if you don't mind having difficult conversations, there really isn't a handbook to handle ALL the different types. The one who has to tell an employee something they don't want to hear. The one who has to push back on your boss. The one who has to hold the line with a business partner who's not seeing eye to eye with you. And if you've been avoiding one of those conversations right now? I get it. Avoidance feels safer. It's not. It's just delayed. In this week's episode, I'm breaking down 5 strategies HR leaders need for difficult conversations — with employees, with your boss, business partners and even at home. And I'm pulling back the curtain a little — sharing behind-the-scenes live training I've done with my own clients, both new and experienced HR leaders, on this exact topic. You will hear us get into 5 fails I see HR leaders make over and over in these conversations — the ones that quietly make the hard moment even harder.
