What if you could ask for more, without second-guessing?

We sat down with Tami Palmer, who brings 15 years of experience in staffing and HR. Tami offers insights, advice, and tactics to help her clients navigate the grey zone and get results. She’s been on the other side of the hiring table, and now she’s sharing exactly what women need to stop selling themselves short.
Tami breaks down the four pillars of her coaching work, why women miss out on money and opportunities (and how to change that), how to answer the salary question with strategy, what to say—and what not to say—when negotiating, plus powerful scripts and mindset shifts you can start using today.
