32: Get Your Boss On: The KEYS to Conquer Corporate America + Get These Coins, with Ashlee Raye

Navigating corporate America as a woman is hard AF, and it’s triply hard as a Black woman or a WOC. Are you constantly overlooked? Told that your personality is just TOO much or that you need to friendlier? Furious that you’re not getting paid equitably (when you KNOW you’re killing it in your field!) So what do you do? 

Get yourself a mentor who’ll teach you how to play the game! A mentor that teaches you strategies so you DON’T have to compromise your integrity, your passions, and who’ll help you strategically negotiate for the 5-figure salary that you deserve!

In today’s episode, Zuri is joined by Ashlee Raye, an Executive Mentor for women in Corporate America & the creator of the Promote Yourself Mentor Experience. Ashlee has 12+ years as a corporate leader, and she’s dropping ALL the gems on how she’s successfully navigated the corporate space: from realizing she was severely underpaid and what happened when she asked for a $60K raise, the merits of code-switching, and how her tangible tips on how to authentically show up in your workspace. 

Ashlee also answers how women can strategically and effectively negotiate for a salary raise and promotion. Why we need to build up the pillars of our life outside of work to avoid burnout (hint: use that PTO!), and Ashlee shares her #1 tip on navigating corporate America as a woman!
