The Intersection of Women & Finance – and How We Can Take Control
This week, we talk with Kate Shannon, who, according to Jackie, is the “person who does everything.” She’s an entrepreneur, painter, author, tango dancer, mom, creative, and tiny home builder/dweller. Her background in the financial services industry, and her work with non-profits, bolster her views on the intersection of women and finance.
In this episode, Kate discusses why we need to ask good questions so we can all find our own best answers. She dives into why negotiation isn’t the beast it seems to be, how to tame the monster for your benefit, and why punishing yourself for what you DIDN’T do in the past isn’t worth your while. You’ll learn things like…
- why Kate believes that it’s always a good idea to ask, “Is this negotiable?”
- how times have changed for women, and why our traditional conditioning doesn’t serve us any longer, especially when negotiating
- why negotiating seems so painful, and how Kate suggests we reframe the conversation
- why it’s crucial (and completely acceptable) to have conversations around compensation
