30 days of Wellbeing w Sharman @Work Day 10: Self Advocacy This may very well be the most important well-being at work practice: Advocate for yourself. Self-advocacy is the ability to speak up for yourself and your needs, and to make decisions that affect your life. It involves understanding your strengths and weaknesses, identifying your goals, and knowing your rights and responsibilities. It also means being able to communicate these things to others, and to ask for what you want and need. This week I coached my daughter in asking for a raise at work: researching competitive pay, incorporating customer feedback, positioning the value she brings to the company, and asking for what she wants. As a parent and a woman, teaching and promoting self advocacy is one of the most important skills I can pass on to others. #selfadvocacy #coaching #wellbeingatwork #career
