You don't get what you deserve, you get what you dare to ask for: negotiate with clarity.
Ask for small things to build your confidence and prepare yourself to ask for more. Frame requests that are clear, direct, and delivered in the right tone. Prepare alternatives and be ready to negotiate. (We recommend taking the course “How to Make Assertive, Effective, and Serene Requests” first.)
