Konstantina Dee, Alumni Careers Manager discusses career transitions: How to leverage your current skills, gain exposure in your chosen field, and establish your personal brand.
Successful salary negotiation as your best career gift this season
As we approach the end of the year, many of us are reflecting on our professional growth and setting intentions for the future. What if I told you that the most valuable gift you could give yourself this holiday season isn't wrapped in shiny paper, but is a skill that could transform your career trajectory? I'm talking about mastering the art of salary negotiation.
Unlocking your £1 Million lifetime value potential
This January, we're inviting our alumni to a transformative in-person workshop where you'll learn to unlock your negotiation potential. The workshop will be delivered by the salary negotiation expert Marcel Deveny, who has shared his three top tips for successful salary negotiation in advance with us:
1. Cultivate an empowered mindset
Negotiation begins in your mind. Getting into an empowered state of mind means:
- Minimising fear and self-doubt
- Boosting your confidence through preparation and research
- Recognising your unique value proposition
Imagine walking into a negotiation not with anxiety, but with calm assurance. That's the mindset you will be able to adopt after the workshop.
2. Know the needs, the wishes and the constraints
Successful negotiation is a two-way street. It's about deeply understanding:
- Your own professional needs and aspirations
- The constraints and wishes of your potential employer
- Finding that sweet spot of mutual benefit
3. Showcase your unique value - tailored for women professionals
In our afternoon session tailored for female alumni, we will be discussing a crucial strategy:
- Blend functional expertise with emotional intelligence
- Use persuasion that is both compelling and empathetic
- Communicate your value with confidence
