Here's how you can ace your salary negotiation preparation.

Research through websites such as glassdoor and reports published firms such as Michael Page give insights on the current salary ranges based on industry, position, region and years of experience.

Prepararse para una negociación salarial comienza por conocer tu propio valor en el mercado laboral. Esto implica investigar y comprender cuánto se paga típicamente por roles similares en tu industria, nivel de experiencia y ubicación geográfica. Utilizar herramientas como sitios web de comparación salarial, informes de compensación y redes profesionales te proporcionará datos concretos sobre el rango salarial esperado para tu posición. Además, considera tus habilidades únicas, logros y contribuciones pasadas que puedan aumentar tu valor para la empresa. Preparar ejemplos concretos de tu desempeño destacado puede fortalecer tu posición durante la negociación al demostrar claramente por qué mereces un salario competitivo.

Acing salary negotiation starts with knowing our superpower - our worth! We should research the market to understand the average salary for our role and industry, and then add our secret sauce - our unique skills, experience, and achievements. This combo will give us a confident target salary range. Remember, we're not just asking for a raise, we're asking to be valued for the awesome contributions we bring to the table!

Knowing your worth and believing that you are indeed worthy is essential for happiness and well-being. When our self-worth depends on external situations, it's unstable. Experts suggest you adopt prosocial goals, reduce external contingencies, and focus on your strengths to know your self-worth better.

A market trend is a perceived tendency of the financial markets to move in a particular direction over time. Analysts classify these trends as secular for long time-frames, primary for medium time-frames, and secondary for short time-frames. Traders attempt to identify market trends using technical analysis, a framework which characterizes market trends as predictable price tendencies within the market when price reaches support. A future market trend can only be determined in hindsight, since at any time prices in the future are not known. Past trends are identified by drawing lines, known as trendlines, that connect price action making higher highs and higher lows for an uptrend, or lower lows and lower highs for a downtrend.

Strategic planning is an organizational management activity that is used to set priorities, focus energy and resources, strengthen operations, ensure that employees and other stakeholders are working toward common goals, establish agreement around intended outcomes/results, and assess and adjust the organization’s direction in response to a changing environment. It is a disciplined effort that produces fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, who it serves, what it does, and why it does it, with a focus on the future. Effective strategic planning articulates not only where an organization is going and the actions needed to make progress, but also how it will know if it is successful.

Relationships are built (or ruined) one conversation at a time. I have always seen effective conversation as a way to transfer energy between people in a way that fosters understanding, builds trust and inspires growth/change. I can distinctly remember every single radical conversation I had with my peers/mentors/bosses that moved the needle for me and led me to growth opportunities. As someone who has immensely benefited from the conversations other people had with me, I try to use my conversations with others as a way to transfer positive energy that leads to learning, change and growth. This mindset of seeing conversations as a medium to exchange energy helps me immensely when I coach, train and facilitate people and teams.
