Wage Gaps with Mia Smithson

Wouldn't we all like to make $30,000 more per year? My expert today tells us how some can accomplish just such a goal. Fortunately for the female audience, it's entirely attainable. Unfortunately that means you're probably also being grossly underpaid.  My guest today is Mia Smithson. Mia is a global director of talent management, responsible for hiring and development across seven countries. Her journey here started when she realized she was being underpaid by tens of thousands of dollars per year, and led her to develop the $30k Program. It's goal is to help women get out of their underpaying jobs and into careers that they love and will pay they like they're valued. If you are a guy like myself listening to this and wondering if it can help you, Mia gives quite a few tips that are totally universal. So stick around! Let's negotiate for better pay!
