The Secret to Winning in Life with Wies Bratby

Author: Danusia Malina-Derben November 2, 2024 Duration: 15:22

This week, Danusia Malina-Derben brings in Wies Bratby—founder of Women in Negotiation and self-proclaimed "women's butt kicker"—to break down why every woman needs to own her worth in the world of negotiation. It's not just about more zeros on the paycheck; it's about freedom, choices, and doing life on your own terms.

 

Wies shares her wisdom on the art of asking for what you deserve—without the guilt trip. From salary boosts to the (often trickier) negotiations at home, she dishes out practical tips for women ready to stand up, speak up, and stop settling. And heads up: there's no room for playing small here.

 

This episode is a masterclass in confidence, clarity, and the sheer power of knowing your worth. Tune in to get fired up, and don't miss Wies's top tips on making every negotiation a win.

Danusia Malina-Derben hosts Parents Who Think, a podcast built on the premise that thoughtful disagreement is more valuable than easy consensus. As an entrepreneur, author, and mother of ten, she facilitates candid conversations that deliberately challenge the comfortable assumptions and unspoken rules of modern parenthood. Each episode features intelligent parents from a wide spectrum of backgrounds, engaging in no-holds-barred debates on crucial dilemmas. The discussions are raw and unfiltered, offering listeners a range of perspectives that often exist outside mainstream parenting narratives. This isn't about finding a single right answer but about illuminating the complex, often hard realities of raising children. Whether your own views are conventional or more marginalized, this podcast provides a rare space for genuine intellectual friction. You'll hear nuanced arguments that prioritize thinking over dogma, inviting you to examine your own choices more deeply. The goal is clarity, not comfort, making it an essential listen for anyone who believes parenting deserves more than a recycled script. Tune in for conversations that interrupt the status quo, acknowledging that agreement is not the point-rigorous, compassionate thought is.
