Know Your Worth: How to Negotiate Higher Pay Without Conflict or Fear

Most people leave hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table — not because they aren’t qualified, but because they don’t believe they’re worth it.

In this Negotiation Masterclass edition of Negotiate Anything, Kwame Christian brings together three leading voices in salary negotiation to break down how high performers learn to value themselves, advocate confidently, and navigate the mental and emotional barriers that stop most people from asking for more.

You’ll learn how to identify and communicate your true value, prepare for high-stakes salary conversations, and negotiate beyond base pay to build a compensation package that actually reflects your worth. The episode also tackles the hidden forces at play — fear of rejection, bias, identity, and mindset — and shows how elite negotiators work around them instead of being blocked by them.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

- Why knowing your value is the foundation of every successful negotiation.

- How preparation beats confidence when asking for more money.

- Ways to navigate bias and fear without losing leverage.

- How to negotiate salary as a collaborative problem-solving conversation.

- Why asking is uncomfortable — but essential for long-term success.

If you’re ready to stop underpricing yourself and start negotiating from a place of clarity and confidence, this masterclass will change how you think about money, value, and your career.
