Are you doing more at work… but still not getting paid, promoted, or recognized the way you should be?
In this Quick Lift episode, we are breaking down the best highlights from the conversation with Bhavana Smith, founder of Until There Are Nine, around negotiation, self-advocacy, promotions, and why women so often leave money on the table.
This is a practical conversation about what actually helps: understanding your value, tracking your impact, knowing when to ask, increasing your visibility, and making a stronger business case for yourself. We also get into one of the best reminders from the episode: when you make the ask, stop talking.
If you are tired of hoping the right people will notice your hard work, this Quick Lift will give you a smarter way to approach the conversation.
You’ll hear:
▪ Why women often advocate for everyone except themselves
▪ How to build a stronger case for more money or opportunity
▪ Why performance review season may already be too late
▪ How exposure beyond your direct manager matters
▪ What to ask in a compensation conversation
▪ Why silence after the ask can be a power move
