A wealth of information and tools!!

I feel like I've listened to a lot of job/career/negotiation books and this one has some amazing nuggets that can be utilized. I also love the examples of what can be said and what they might say back and how to prepare for these situations. Overall this allows you to be empowered and confident walking into any conversation without having to think and just being able to prepare and know your awesomeness strategically.

I want to get the paperback as well!

I found a lot of things in this book that I need to remember like taking time each week to write down my accomplishments to be used later in negotiations. The book has concepts that apply to any career like replacing “I work hard” with “the ideas I implemented raised profits 22%”, when negotiating.This can definitely end up a highlighted and dog eared book in my desk at work.

Real guidance that finally made negotiation feel p

I loved how this book broke down salary negotiation into simple steps that actually felt doable and not scary at all. The author explains the whole process like a friend who understands your fears but still pushes you to aim higher. What I liked most was the clear framework that shows exactly how to prepare your value story before you talk to a hiring manager. The real world examples made the lessons feel believable because you can see how people just like you used these methods to earn more. I also appreciated the parts about handling tough questions because those moments usually make me freeze. The book really helped me understand that negotiation is a skill not a personality trait so anyone can learn it. I would recommend this book to anyone who always feels nervous discussing pay or who keeps accepting offers too quickly. It is also great for people changing careers because it explains how to talk about your strengths without sounding unsure. After reading it I finally felt confident enough to ask for what I deserve. This is the kind of guide that makes you feel prepared calm and ready to claim your value.

Great book1!!! must read it! or listen...

Heard this one from the hospital bed and honestly... wish I had it years ago. Super clear, no fluff, just exactly what you need if talking money makes you panic. The playbook and PROVE system are absolute fire! Felt like a coach was walking me through the tough convos step by step. Real stories make it hit home. Perfect if you're quiet, unsure, or just tired of getting underpaid. I’ll be relistening before every offer.
