Description
Let's be clear: it's stressful to ask for a raise or a promotion. But most of the time, if you are going to get one, you *do* need to ask. In this course, Dorie Clark - a Duke University executive education professor and author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller The Long Game - will show you concrete strategies and scripts to arm you for this tricky, but important, conversation.We will discuss how to begin the conversation, the timing of when to ask, and how to talk about your results without appearing greedy or aggressive. We will also cover how to effectively research what your request should be, how to lay the groundwork with your boss so they're maximally receptive, and what to do if you get turned down - including how to turn that situation to your advantage.You deserve to feel happy, engaged, and fulfilled at work - but that's only going to happen if you feel like you're being treated fairly and rewarded appropriately. When you're comfortable knowing your value - and asking for it - you're far more likely to earn what you deserve and have a title that reflects your full contribution. This course will empower you to get there.
