Ep 96 - Negotiating Your Salary with Michelle Gyimah

Ever wished you knew how to ask for a pay rise?  Or negotiate a higher salary when you start a new role?  We don’t talk about money enough and that’s exactly what I’m talking to Michelle Gyimah about in this episode.  Michelle Gyimah is the Director of Equality Pays, a gender and ethnicity equality consultancy dedicated to closing workplace pay gaps.  We’ve recorded two episodes together – this one is all about what you can do to close your own pay gap. Then in episode 97 (released on Monday 6 June) we’ll be focusing on how organisations can close the gender and ethnicity pay gaps. MORE ABOUT MICHELLE Michelle Gyimah is a passionate advocate for enabling women (and men) to progress in their careers in a way that suits their outside of work responsibilities and lifestyle choices.
