Let’s face it: We all want to make more money. We might have ambition or want to take on more projects. Or we might want to be rewarded for loyalty or completing a big project on time and under budget.
But having those difficult conversations of asking for a raise can be trickier. It’s hard to broach the concept of money with management, particularly because you might not be sure what your flexibility in numbers is or what kind of options exist.
One thing to do is research — determine what your profession pays people. You also need to figure out what’s stopping you from asking for a raise. For some people, they aren’t comfortable with the conversation. Some think they might be termed pushy. Or perhaps it's a lack of confidence or self-doubt, or maybe they just haven’t taken the time to sit down and reflect and analyze what they’ve accomplished in their role up to this point.
So how can you get over your worries and instead ask for (and get) the raise you deserve? This blog offers some ideas.

- 12/27/2022 - Kori BurkholderWhat comes next? Rebounding After a Mid Career SetbackRead More
Covid was a life-altering experience for almost everyone on the planet. Some people struggled while others thrived. Early, mid to late professionals used Covid as the catalyst to reevaluate their lives and careers because their companies started to downsize, jobs were put on hold, job offers rescinded, and loss of business revenue were all catalysts for change. Jon, a mid-career professional, didn’t escape from having to pivot and rebound.
When Jon came to us for support, he had shut down his preschool business after 11 years due to Covid. But, within those two years since, he took on a driving job to fill the employment gaps. Simultaneously, trying to transition into the education world in higher education but couldn’t get past the gatekeepers. So, he abandoned that approach, and from there, he was all over the place.
He was looking for coaching to give him a framework to be his best self. He needed help to focus, understand what drives and motivates him, narrow down a career path that gives him satisfaction, enjoyment, respect, and admiration from peers, coworkers, and family, and fill the financial void.
