13 | Negotiating for the Salary You Desire & Deserve with Kim Tran

When was the last time you negotiated for something you wanted? According to Kim Tran, owner of Your Work Inspires, many women avoid negotiation–both in their careers and in everyday life. But Kim believes that we shouldn’t be afraid to negotiate for what we desire, nor should we view negotiation as confrontation. Instead, she wants to help women have tough conversations with confidence and finally get the pay they deserve.
