Women: Ask for a Raise, but Make Sure You’re Worth It - Ep.15
Manage episode 80065345 series 74305
For many of us, our human capital (we measure this as the PV of all of our future earnings) is greater than our financial capital. As a financial adviser, I view Human Capital as a very important asset in our overall wealth. On this show we are going to talk about how woman can grow this very important asset class by discussing empowerment in your career.
The most fundamental way for you as a working woman to increase your human capital is to get a raise. Of course we want to convert this human capital into investment capital so that you can save and grow it for future needs such as retirement.
Recent studies show that women’s earnings on average are about 77 percent of men’s. Now there are reasons for this, such as, women taking time out of the work force for care-giving or women choosing careers that are not as highly compensated, but there are other barriers that we as women create.
Additional studies on the gender pay gap conclude that a key reason men get higher salaries on average is that they’re more inclined to negotiate. Many women are less likely to negotiate because they tend to lack self-confidence. This problem can be overcome if women would just learn how to effectively communicate in business.
My guest on this show is Christine Clifton who is a business communication coach, trainer, and speaker to help us with this concern. Christine has spent over 20 years in the Corporate world in management positions of Operations, Human Resources, and Sales. In her 6th year of entrepreneurship, she now teaches others how to have effective business conversations. She believes that 'You don't have to shout to Stand Out.'
