"Nobody will ever pay you what you're worth; they will only pay you what they think you're worth. And we have the power to shape their perception."
In this powerful TEDx talk, Casey Brown shares a important message about evaluating our value and getting paid what we deserve. This can be particularly challenging in the caring profession, where many of us entered with a passion to care, change lives, and support others.
The current economic crisis and the pressures of looking after our own families have added an extra layer of difficulty. As caregivers, we understand that passion and care alone are not enough to sustain us. We cannot pour from an empty cup. We need to ensure our own well-being and financial stability to continue making a difference.
Casey’s talk provides great food for thought and highlights by clearly defining and communicating our value, we can still make a profound impact while being properly compensated. It's time to reassess our worth and, like Casey, consider asking for what we are actually worth – even if it seems terrifying. 📈
Let go of the misconception that acknowledging your value is self-promotion. Instead, focus on serving others and adding value, and it will never feel like bragging. As Casey wisely puts it, "Give up this notion that it's tooting your own horn. Focus on serving and adding value, and it won't feel like bragging."
So, to all the passionate caregivers out there, facing the challenges of our current economic crisis and the pressures of providing for our families, remember that taking care of ourselves is crucial. Let's evaluate our own value, take control of our financial future, and ensure that we can continue to make a difference in the lives of those we care for #KnowYourWorth #ValueYourExcellence #ChargeWhatYouDeserve
