How to Negotiate a Higher Salary and Better Benefits

It is not a secret that on average, women in the United States are paid less than men for doing the same job. That is a big problem, and my initial reaction is to point the finger at the entire male population! But we are not going to put the blame on others in this episode. Instead, we are going to empower women to learn how to negotiate a higher salary and better benefits.

My guest is Elizabeth Suarez, an expert in Alternative Dispute Resolution and Leadership. She spent more than fifteen years climbing the ranks of corporate America. Through her career and years of coaching professionals, she learned that we cannot blame men for this situation. On the contrary, we as women need to get mad at ourselves.

According to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, men make 20% more than women for performing the same job. To change this situation, women need to learn to negotiate better benefits, preferences, and salaries with prospective employers. Elizabeth has compiled years of expert advice in her new book, The Art of Getting Everything.
