Asking for a raise can be nerve-wracking\u2014just ask Stacie McDonald, Climb Wyoming\u2019s program director in Gillette<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She coaches Climb graduates who have reached success in their careers and need extra support getting ready to negotiate with an employer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worked with a Climb graduate recently who had taken on more and more responsibility in her job,\u201d says Stacie. \u201cShe knew she was going to have to make a pitch for a raise but just needed a refresher on where to begin. She asked, \u2018I\u2019m worth more\u2026but how do I talk about it?\u2019”<\/p>\n

Climb participants learn assertiveness and professional workplace communication as part of the program\u2019s job readiness component. Staff then stay connected with them to provide ongoing support and remind them that they have the communication tools they need.<\/p>\n

When it comes to salary negotiations, Stacie reminds moms to remember their unique talents. \u201cI ask, \u2018Are you bilingual? Do you have experience caring for elderly relatives?\u2019 Sometimes you have to look at yourself from all angles to see what might be the most valuable to an employer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brittany Gray, Climb\u2019s Sweetwater Area<\/a> program director, recently met with a grad who was moving to a new town and starting a job at a slightly lower wage.<\/p>\n

“I told her that having a career is like making ‘deposits’ into your employee bank. Through our actions we can build up our employee bank account. People with larger accounts are more likely to be rewarded with higher wages. And people with higher wages typically have more responsibilities than someone who is new to the company,\u201d says Brittany.<\/p>\n

“In this case, I worked with the mom to just get really curious. What else could she take on? If more training is required, could she do that sooner rather than later? Through our conversation she had an opportunity to practice forward-thinking and what it would take to show her employer she\u2019s hungry for it.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI ask, \u2018Are you bilingual? Do you have experience caring for elderly relatives?\u2019 Sometimes you have to look at yourself from all angles to see what might be the most valuable to an employer.\u201d<\/h3>\n
\n

When an employee is successful, her employer usually wants the opportunity to negotiate, says Stacie. That\u2019s what happened with the grad she supported through the process recently.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer employer<\/a> had invested significant training and time into her success, and he was really happy with her progress and the amount of responsibility she had taken on. The company wanted to keep her and, in the end, she got even more than what she asked for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cClimb sees potential in everyone who walks through our door,\u201d says Stacie. \u201cSometimes you don\u2019t see what other people see, and you just need a reminder of why you\u2019re worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n
