Episode 136: Non-Musician Perspectives - Negotiations with Jennifer Cubides

“Your time is not free. Your time is you and your time is your skillset.” This episode, we’re joined by Non-Musician Perspective and KCA project manager Jennifer Cubides to talk about negotiations and knowing your worth. Besides being KCA project manager, Jen also just got a new job as Head of Academics at TPH Nashville! In addition to navigating new opportunities in the education industry, Jen’s role keeping up with KCA contracts, projects, and clients has made her quite well-versed in negotiations. Karen and Jen pinpoint 3 main principles to keep in mind when making negotiations: “Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind.” -Brene Brown Do your own research: be knowledgeable Know your worth: ask for what you want and deserve The premise of negotiating is capitalizing on your skills and your environment. In navigating negotiations, though, be sure to keep in mind that there’s a fine line between confidence and entitlement: have humility! Advocate for what you deserve, not just what you desire.
