Negotiating for Your Happiness #doctor #happiness #money

You know, one of the things that I'm always helping women on, especially when it comes to negotiating, is sometimes we think we got to negotiate one thing at a time, right? I want to hire salary, so I'm going to try to get that. And then, you know, I want Fridays off or more admin times, I'm going to try to get that. But sometimes it's better to negotiate it as a package because you don't really know what's most important to your employer versus what's most important to you. And had I not negotiated this whole thing as a package, I might not have come to the same conclusion, right? I might not have gotten the same package. And so for me, when I'm, you know, talking to doctors, it's like, okay, how can we change your schedule? Right? Let's think about what our ideal life is. Let's think about what we really want in life. And let's say, okay, what tweaks could we make in our current schedule that would make that better? And then let's practice negotiating for that. Let's practice advocating for that. You know, let's practice putting ourself in a position to get some of those things that we want. And so I think that that really helps is the schedule flexibility part.
