283| Collecting Your Kudos
from Future Female Leaders Hosted by Nichole Harrop
Nichole shares a different kind of evidence for your raise case: the praise that's probably already sitting in your inbox, Slack messages, and texts, waiting to be collected. In this episode: Why a kind message from a client, manager, or coworker is evidence, and how easily it gets lost in a sea of other messages What to look for: direct compliments, gratitude tied to a specific outcome, requests for you specifically, positive feedback from reviews or surveys, and leadership praise for projects you were a key part of Why you should screenshot everything, since platforms change and messages get deleted Keeping all your kudos in one place, with Nichole's tip to store them right in your brag document Organizing praise loosely by theme, like reliability or problem-solving, so patterns start to emerge How leaning on what others say about you can help if you struggle to feel confident communicating your impact Asking someone if you can quote them directly in a future conversation or performance review A reminder to scroll back through your kudos as a personal highlight reel on a rainy day or after tough feedback Today's task: spend 15 minutes searching your email and messages for at least three pieces of forgotten praise, screenshot them, and add them to your brag document Download the 7 Days to Ask for a Raise Challenge to help you confidently ask for a raise here.
