Episode 23: How to Ask For a Raise or Promotion, Part 1

Ever felt ready for more responsibility, recognition, or compensation, but held back from asking?  In this solo episode of In Confidence, Lisa shares a powerful reframe: asking for a raise or promotion isn’t about demanding. It’s about declaring your worth. Drawing from her Gravitas superpower framework, she breaks down how to lead the conversation with clarity, strategy, and self-belief.
 
This conversation sparked so much interest that we decided to turn it into a two-part series. Stay tuned for Part Two with negotiation expert Meggie Palmer, where we dive even deeper into tactical tips, scripts, and strategies.
 
In Part 1, you’ll learn:

• 
  How to reframe fear of asking into a leadership moment
  


• 
  What to prepare for the three raise and promotion scenarios:
  


• 
  A title change with no money
  


• 
  A pay increase without changing your role
  


• 
  A promotion that comes with both more responsibility and more pay
  

The next step in your career starts with a single conversation. Let’s make sure you’re ready for it.
