How to Advocate For Yourself as a Woman at Work

Date:

For women in particular, the office can be a difficult place to navigate. In an effort to appear easygoing and likable, it’s sometimes easier to stay quiet instead of advocating for yourself or your needs. 

But when you spend 40 hours per week in the same place, you want to make sure you’re comfortable. This means learning to avoid conflict and advocate for yourself by asking for a raise or promotion when you want to. 

Communication is key to navigating tricky office situations. It’s important to learn to speak calmly, carefully and with purpose. Rehearsing your input ahead of time can help you be prepared for any meeting, and being direct with your wants can also help you get what you deserve.
