Resources to navigate your career?

AshleyRivera·Jul 07, 2021

Hey ladies! What resources do you use to manage challenging moments at work? For example, having a difficult conversation like pushing back on an assignment, negotiating salary or asking for a raise? I find that sometimes I'm wondering how to handle these situations but there is not a central place that I can always turn to for quick answers from management and organizational experts. Thoughts?

Hey Ashley! I know for me, I did a lot of role playing with a trusted friend once I figured out exactly what I wanted. It helped me to "practice" having the conversation. I also wrote down bullet points that I wanted to make sure I made during the conversation and took that with me.I think the most important thing is that you have to be absolutely sold on why you want what you want. :)

Elpha has been a fantastic resource for me, I learned a lot from you all! When it comes to technicalities, I have explored resources related to my industry e.g VC I look into twitter, blogs, podcasts and books!
