My friend Charmaine Green-Forde said something that stuck with me people aren't debating with AI or interrogating it. They're just accepting whatever it says & that got me thinking, WHY?

You wouldn't take everything your boss or even your friend says as gospel, why is AI getting a free pass? Lets talk... AI isn't always right Why the way you're using AI is working against you in your career Your CV/Resume is getting rejected because you did thisAssistant VS Expert------ Enjoyed the episode?

Why did I stop asking for pay rises? Because I realised there are things that can be worth far more than an extra £5k a year.

I share: Why and how I asked for shares. How to negotiate benefits that can work out more than a pay rise. Negotiating what you specifically want for the life you're building  The hidden perks most people are scared to ask for. How to negotiate based on the value you create, not just your salary.

Sometimes the people getting opportunities aren’t the most qualified on paper they’re the people who know how to sell what they already have.   You might think you need a HR degree, CIPD qualification or years of experience before anyone will give you a chance in Human Resources. That wasn’t my story. Instead I did it with zero experience or qualifications and 17 years later I'm still here. If you’re trying to move into HR, corporate or a completely different industry and feel stuck because you don’t have the right background, this episode is for you. I break down exactly how I went from teaching into HR without traditional experience and what I focused on to make employers see me differently...

Because your career is sales (even when you don't work in Sales) - You’re selling your skills in interviews.- Selling your value in promotion conversations.- Selling your ideas in meetings - Selling your potential to decision makers. And the people who earn more? They know how to sell and market themselves. In this episode I break down why sales and marketing aren’t “corporate buzzwords” they’re essential career skills. We’ll talk about: Why rejecting sales holds so many people backThe difference between selling yourself and braggingHow to market your value on your CV and in interviewsWhy the people who understand this get promoted faster and negotiate better salaries and bonus benefitsBecause the more clearly you can communicate your value…the more power you have in your career. “Create Your Own Lane” my 1:1 coaching program is open!

People think the most qualified person gets the job. They don’t.They don’t even have the most negotiation power! The person with the strongest interview has the most leverage to negotiate salary, benefits, and future opportunities. And that’s a big difference. In this episode, I break down why qualifications and experience alone don’t give you the leverage you need to negotiate. Because negotiation power doesn’t start when the offer comes in. It starts long before that. I talk about: Why the “best on paper” candidate often losesWhat actually makes someone the strongest candidate in the roomHow positioning yourself differently changes your negotiation powerWhy some people can push back on salary… and others can’tIf you’ve ever wondered why someone less experienced got the job or how people negotiate higher salaries so confidently this episode will change how you think about interviews. --- I help my clients become the strongest candidate in the room.
