In this latest Spotify Podcast interview, Questioning Gurus, Noa Sheer talks to Jason Ajai (Interview Fit), Noa Rein (Spark and Rumble), and Oscar Mora and Rodrigo Limon (Question Pro) about salary negotiations - how to work around your own limiting beliefs and negotiate with the tools and confidence you need to achieve the outcomes you desire.
“The Conversation Everyone Dreads – and How to Master It”
Why is negotiating your salary often more stressful than sealing a multi-million dollar deal? In this podcast episode of Questioning Gurus, Noa Sheer and the Questioning Gurus team unpack this question in an entertaining and enlightening panel discussion.
Central to The Discussion
