What do you do if a job offer comes in with a low-ball salary? In this episode, I dig into a topic inspired by a listener's email that echoes the experiences of many job seekers. The thrill of a job offer in your inbox can be quickly curtailed by a proposed salary that doesn’t even hit the bottom of your range. The let-down stems from a combination of systemic issues around hiring, genuine frustration and stress, and possibly some unrealistic expectations.I explain what’s going on behind the scenes in these scenarios and what you can do to set yourself up for job search and salary negotiation success.Press play to discover insights that cast job hunting in a new light, including:Why there’s an extended timeline on job searching todayWhat’s happening behind the hiring curtain with supply and demandWhen in the process you’re at the peak of your negotiating powerHow you can be a part of the change to greater salary transparencyRelated Links:Randstad Survey - https://swnsdigital.com/us/2018/10/it-takes-5-months-of-searching-to-land-a-job-study-finds/ Bureau of Labor Statistics - https://www.bls.gov/Free Bossed Up Negotiation Guide - https://www.bossedup.org/negotiationLearn more about the fight for salary transparency - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionHired: my Job Search Accelerator - https://www.bossedup.org/gethiredMy job search resource hub - https://www.bossedup.org/free-resources/job-searchBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/ 

Content warning: this blog post and podcast episode include mentions of pregnancy loss. Odds are, you either know someone or are someone who has experienced infertility or pregnancy loss firsthand. The visibility of this common but traumatic experience has been on the rise, but there’s still a lot to do before people feel as comfortable discussing a pregnancy loss as they do a migraine or knee surgery. In this episode, I speak with Dr. Alice Domar, a psychologist and the Chief Compassion Officer at Inception Fertility. Dr. Domar has investigated the link between stress and infertility for decades, and her research shines a fascinating light on this widespread problem. Tune in to discover the science behind this mind–body link, including:What the research has to say about the link between stress and infertilityHow to address stress reduction without resorting to victim-blamingWhat needs to change in the workforce to improve infertility supportRelated Links:Dr. Alice Domar’s website - https://dralicedomar.com/Inception Fertility - https://inceptionfertility.com/Dr. Domar’s books, including Conquering Infertility - https://dralicedomar.com/products/Stress and infertility are connected—but 4 mindfulness strategies can help with both by L'Oreal Thompson Payton - https://fortune.com/well/article/stress-infertility-connection-mindfulness-strategies/?utm_source=pocket_savesL’Oreal Thompson Payton’s Bossed Up Episode 410 - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode410Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth - https://bookshop.org/p/books/ina-may-s-guide-to-childbirth-updated-with-new-material-ina-may-gaskin/11426722?ean=9780553381153Pregnant Workers Fairness Act - https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/08/11/2023-17041/regulations-to-implement-the-pregnant-workers-fairness-act#:~:text=The%20PWFA%20requires%20a%20covered,business%20of%20the%20covered%20entity.Sarah Brafman’s Bossed Up Episode 414 - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode414Bossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

Fear is weakness, as you may have been told, and the only way to get ahead in the world is to become fearless. But since that’s all but impossible, we wind up spending precious energy we could be putting toward our goals erecting a stone wall around our fears when, in fact, acknowledging and respecting our fears could help us flourish!In this episode, I speak with Farnoosh Torabi, a personal finance advisor, journalist, and author who explores fear and its role in our pursuit of success in her latest book, A Healthy State of Panic.

Raise your hand if being a mom and working away from home has you STRESSED! Most parents would agree: one of the biggest challenges you face in the early years is figuring out how to patch together childcare you can actually afford! Most parents in the U.S. have felt the impact of our poor childcare economy. Stiff competition for daycare entry, care coverage that doesn’t reflect the average work schedule, and costs that make it almost impossible for parents of littles to return to work at all are just a handful of the impossible choices working parents face.Meanwhile… businesses today are desperate for talent! So why aren’t we catering to an eager but largely untapped potential workforce: parents of young children? We need systemic change, and Nicole Riehl is making incredible strides in this arena. Her organization, EPIC, helps businesses address their teams’ childcare needs in a way that benefits their employees, companies, and the economy as a whole.Explore Nicole’s insights and the innovative solutions that are reshaping how businesses support working parents:The major economic impacts of the country’s inadequate childcare infrastructureWhy affordable, quality childcare is a business imperativeHow childcare improvements align with the future of modern communitiesRelated Links:EPIC’s website - https://www.coloradoepic.org/Nicole’s LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-riehl-ab46634/Nicole’s Twitter - https://twitter.com/theriehlnicoleNicole’s podcast, “The Dropoff” - https://www.coloradoepic.org/podcastGenXYZ 2023 - Top 25 Young Professionals - https://www.cobizmag.com/genxyz-2023-top-25-finalists/Denver Business Journal - Outstanding Women in Business Award -https://www.bizjournals.com/denver/news/2022/08/19/dbj-2022-outstanding-women-in-business-awards.htmlUS Chamber of Commerce Foundation - https://www.uschamberfoundation.org/Bipartisan Policy Center - https://bipartisanpolicy.org/Council for Strong America - https://www.strongnation.org/articles/2038-122-billion-the-growing-annual-cost-of-the-infant-toddler-child-care-crisisRoadmap with The ECE Employer Roadmap - US Chamber of Commerce Foundation - https://www.uschamberfoundation.org/education/ece-employer-roadmapLeadership Denver - https://denverleadership.org/leadershipdenver/Proposition EE - https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb23-1290Employer-Based Childcare Design Lab - https://www.coloradoepic.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/EPIC-Design-Labs-Flyer-4-28-22-FINAL.pdfAi-Jen Poo’s Care Fest - https://www.carefest.com/event/6b40797d-1bb7-403c-97ca-3ae437a3c87f/summaryTake Action - advocate for the policy reforms that drive gender equity at work, including access to affordable, quality care: www.bossedup.org/takeactionBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

How can you bring more courageous conversations into your practice of inclusive leadership?

How does your career align with your values, and how do you even begin figuring that out? These are questions more of us have started asking this year, as we stop accepting career dissatisfaction and burnout as “just how it is” and re-evaluate our relationship to work.In this episode, I share an approach to career recalibration that has really resonated with me, one that places less of a focus on identifying your core values and more on identifying the tangible pieces that are and are not working for you now.

You've heard the "stat" before: men tend to apply for jobs when they meet only 60% of the qualifications and women only once they reach 100% of them.
