Serve It & Own It: A Leadership Lifestyle podcast Courtney Ball

Starting a blog is probably not something you’ve considered as a HR professional. 
But the truth is there are limitless possibilities when it comes to using this medium as a way to grow your personal brand. Not only is there income earning potential, but you will also grow your thought leadership as you continue to assert your unique perspective in your chosen field. 
This is exactly why I’ve started a blog. Have a look here.

This blog is going to be yet another free resource via which I’m going to share exactly how I continue to do this for myself and my clients.

The whole reason I started my business was to help more Black women cross the six figure mark. It's important to me. Before I hit that milestone, it felt impossible. But in hindsight, if I just had someone telling me exactly how to do that, I would have got there so much faster.
Ultimately, this is all so that we can secure financial freedom for ourselves.  In order for you to do that, you need to be pursuing the jobs that will pay you, not simply the jobs that feel like they're in your comfort zone or the jobs that might seem readily available.
So I did some of the work for you.
In this episode, we are talking about the 10 highest paying jobs in human resources. So if you want to break the $100k mark this year and beyond, then this is a great episode for you.

When it comes to negotiating a salary, it really doesn’t have to be so hard. This episode is going to be succinct and to the point because I want to take some of the anxiety and imposter syndrome that tends to float to the surface for people around this topic. 
The information that I'm sharing with you in this episode is informed by both my own experiences as a candidate going through this process and the experiences of my clients that primarily work in human resources. It is also a reflection of insider information from me as a HR practitioner that's on the other side of salary negotiations.
