The following is an excerpt of one of David\u2019s coaching sessions in Top Coaching Techniques<\/a>.<\/p>\n

See, there\u2019s a lot of confrontational stuff in the world – I was going to use the word energy, and I thought that was a bit to airy-fairy – but there\u2019s a lot of confrontation happening, and I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the best or most fulfilling way to go about it. I would suggest partnering with your boss in some way and working out what you think you\u2019re worth. Then ask your boss\u2019s honest opinion.<\/p>\n

Now, that may not work, and there may come a time when you need to draw a line and you say, You know, if I am worth more than this, and if I don\u2019t get paid more than this, than I respect your decision but I need to go elsewhere.\u2019 Which brings me to point two. I said there were two or three different ways that I think would be obvious to get a pay raise.<\/p>\n

One would be going and saying, \u2018I\u2019d like a pay raise now.\u2019 Another great idea would be to go to your boss and say, \u2018Look, I want a pay raise. I\u2019d like to be earning fifty percent more than I\u2019m earning and I\u2019d like to get it within a reasonable time frame. Now who do I have to be and what do I have to contribute to this company to be worth that to you?\u2019 So there you can partner with your boss and your boss can reach out to take a look. \u2018Well, if you achieve these targets, that might be worth it. If you got this training that might be worth it.\u2019 You can actually create a career plan together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
