How To Ask For More Money (Without Dying From Awkwardness)

Asking for a pay rise is about as comfortable as explaining to your boss why you've been late three times this week. But what if there was a way to do it that actually works?

Host Em Vernem gets Biz career coaches Michelle Battersby and Soph Hirst to share their proven framework for getting what you want at work (spoiler: don't mention your expensive oat latte habit).
Plus, they bust the myths about asking every year, using other job offers as leverage, and what to do if you get a 'no'.

Consider this your cheat sheet to having the money conversation - minus the awkward sweating.

What you’ll learn:
- The framework that does the hard work for you
- What to ask for if they can't give you more money
- The exact words to say to your boss (and what never to say)
