Your salary, role & prospects

UPLIFT

Your salary, role & prospects.

You want to secure a fair pay rise, promotion or role, which you know you’ve earned and deserve, but you keep being short changed, fobbed off, or taken for granted, and you’re stuck on how to speak up effectively and achieve the result you desire.

You want to have the conversation with your organisation’s decision makers and HR stakeholders confidently and successfully to secure the right outcome, but one or more things stand in your way:

You are too angry, frustrated or emotional to articulate your case effectively
You are uncomfortable talking about money
You don’t know how to couch it without it feeling awkward and uncomfortable
You hate confrontation and you are worried it will create conflict
You are concerned your boss won’t support your request
You aren’t sure what you should ask for and you are afraid you’ll be seen as greedy
You are worried you’ll be judged negatively by internal stakeholders or peers
You are concerned your organisation will expect even more from you in return
You believe your contribution should speak for itself and feel you shouldn’t have to ask
You are worried you’ll get a flat No

Whatever the reason, you want to take control, make the request in a way that delivers the best possible chance of success, and get a definitive response that enables you to move forward positively and proactively.

My Uplift coaching programme provides a structured framework where I help you define your ask in monetary, benefit and/or role terms, compile a water-tight business case, communicate unemotionally and with influence, and secure an unequivocal answer.

You are given practical guidance, processes and tools, plus I will draft your emails to key stakeholders, to help you have tough conversations, demonstrate your worth and maximise your chances of a successful result.

Whether you’re underpaid, overlooked, being made promises that never materialise, or your job is subject to unfair targets or expectations that make it impossible to achieve, it’s time to get support, take action and obtain the uplift you’ve already earned.

Programme Overview

Following an assessment of your unique situation and goal criteria, your coaching programme will be tailored to your specific needs and the results you desire. Programme elements often include:

Your unique situation – assessment, goal criteria and programme outline

Building your business case – clearly quantifying your value and deliverables
Devising the best approach – who to speak to, what to say, how to say it, and when to time it
Drafting your emails – I draft your tough-to-write emails to HR and key decision makers, which you can personalise before sending
Guidance through the process – I help you plan, prepare and practice for each conversation, giving you clear steps to follow at each stage
Additional email responses – I help craft responses to any follow up emails from HR and decision makers
Reviewing the result – considering next steps once you have a clear answer

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine what type of support I need?

Before we get started, I’ll send you a questionnaire to fill out, so that I’ve got a picture of your specific challenges and where you’d like to get to. I’ll then design your programme with the key components that match your needs, which we’ll discuss and agree in our first session before diving straight in.

What kind of writing support do you provide?

I write draft emails for my clients that help them present and argue their case, whether that’s reasoning for a promotion, pay rise, bonus increase, a change in role targets or parameters, or all of the above. I spent 20 years in PR and communications, which means I genuinely know how to create and communicate information in a coherent, compelling and non-emotional way. Writing persuasive arguments is second nature to me.

What if my organisation stalls on an answer?

I’ll help you draft emails and have conversations that clearly ask for an answer within a fair and specific timeframe. If your organisation continues to stall, it gives us a clear indication about their intentions and provides you with the information you need to make positive and powerful choices moving forward.

What if my organisation says No to my request?

It means you’ll have a clear answer on where you stand, and the power to make positive, insight-driven choices about what to do next. If this is the case, I’ll help you consider the right next steps so you can secure what you deserve with your next move.
