#30 Part 2: The Negotiation That Changed a Company: How Naeha Secured Paid Leave and Paved the Way for Others
Have you ever wondered how far you can push for what you need at work without burning bridges—or how your negotiation can create lasting change for everyone in your organization?
In this episode, our caller Naeha, a manager at a small U.S. nonprofit, shares the continuation of her negotiation journey for parental leave. After discovering a major leadership transition that gave her unexpected leverage, Naeha details how she navigated a complex, months-long conversation with her organization to secure nearly a year of leave for herself while also shaping an official company-wide policy.
This episode is a masterclass in strategic negotiation, patience, and advocacy. Whether you’re negotiating your own leave, navigating a promotion, or looking to create structural change in your workplace, Naeha’s story shows that careful planning, allies, and thoughtful communication can lead to outcomes that benefit both you and your colleagues.
