The Salary Secret Weapon: An Interview with Keri-Lynne Shaw

"$1.5 Million Dollars." This is the amount of money we leave on the table over the course of our careers by failing to negotiate during salary conversations at critical career transitions, including level and role promotions or acquiring new jobs. On today’s episode of the #laidofflifeon podcast, Kelsey Waldrop is joined by special guest Keri-Lynne Shaw, founder and CEO of The Salary Bump, to talk about the #landmines and #goldmines of salary negotiations at critical career transition points.

Starting in the trenches and learning the hard way, KL has mastered the nuances of compensation dynamics and is dedicated to empowering people to recognize their market value and negotiate with intent.

On Today’s Episode, We Are Diving Into:

Building the confidence to initiate and engage in salary negotiation conversations.

Learning how to research, assess, and present a winning narrative that positions each negotiation as a win-win, ensuring both parties walk away feeling valued and satisfied with the result.

Overcoming the mindsets and limiting beliefs that hold us back from negotiating for the compensation and salaries that we deserve and that prevent us from achieving the financial freedom we have earned:

Not wanting to come across as greedy when asking for a higher salary.

Money isn’t my number one value, so it's not worth negotiating for.

If I do good work, the money will come.

The job market is too tough; I need to accept whatever offers are given.

Expanding compensation conversations that move beyond salary to total rewards-based packages that include often unexplored financial and non-financial benefits such as healthcare costs, car allowance, transportation costs, relocation, remote working options, and more!

Answering the salary expectation question during job search and initial interviews. How not to be caught off guard. Learn to answer in ranges and not specific numbers.

Building Confidence to Negotiate during unemployment or after being laid off, including the idea of building future salary increases into your negotiation strategy.

The power of networking, including key networking tips and practical tools you can use to grow and nurture key relationships.
