What is the one thing SXSW has likely never had a discussion on before?

I think it is a dedicated session on salary negotiation. And not an inspirational talk. I mean a real tactical workshop on how the game works and the opportunity for attendees to ask their most hard hitting questions about how to advocate for their worth. Especially in whatever state the job market will be in March 2025.

Which is why I am excited to announce the application I submitted to do a salary negotiation workshop was accepted for public voting by SXSW! This means the process has just started though.

I would like your help in making sure the message is heard by SXSW that you want this type of knowledge.

Had an amazing time last night at the Austin Under 40 Awards gala! Supporting a great cause and getting to meet a lot of the individuals here in Austin who are on the cutting edge of their industries and movements.

It was also awesome to meet members of the Young Women’s Alliance in person who I just gave a presentation to last week on salary negotiatiation.

If you have an organization of professionals that would like leadership development or specific strategic tactical guidance on things like salary negotiation, I’m available to speak.

One of the best ways for me to help you as a Certified High Performance Coach is to continually augment the level of access and knowledge that I have.

And one of my main chosen mentors is .

I’ll be spending more time with Brendon over the next year in his mastermind. If you know me, you know that my coaching ethos is Managing The Conversation.

So anything I can do to up level my skill of managing the conversation to be coaching, teaching, training, and mentoring other high vibe, well-intentioned, success minded individuals, the better.

And it’s not just the conversations you manage in your daily life, business, or relationships. It’s the conversation you manage with yourself that matters the most!

It’s the biggest determining factor of your performance. Your joy. Your ability to feel your life. To look back and revel in the fact that you gave it your all on your terms, WITHOUT neglecting any part of yourself along the way.

Whether you’re looking to take your life to the next level, or you’re already at the next level, but want to go deeper, DM me. I’d love to have a conversation with you to see what you’re working on.

I’m pretty hell bent on teaching you how to negotiate your salary in tech and Fortune 500 companies.

I find it unacceptable that we don’t learn how to do one of the most important things of our careers in college. Imagine paying through the nose for an education that lasts four years only to be completely unprepared for the very first and most important conversation of your career. Not to mention time and time again there after. It’s like buying a brand new car and the moment you get off the lot it won’t accelerate like you expect it to.

Not to exalt myself, but I really feel like a superhero who’s here to try and save the day. Except I save the day by teaching you how to save your own day.

So you’re the superhero.

I’m just going to unlock what’s already inside of you. Which is your ability to use your voice and ask at the right time, in the right order, for the right things so you get paid what you’re worth. LFG 🚀
