Finance coach and advisor Margaret Njeri shares how to prepare for, navigate and ultimately get the raise you’ve earned. From emotional preparation to financial research, you need to approach the conversation with confidence and clarity, ensuring that you’re not just asking for more money but advocating for your true value.

The best time to ask, Margaret notes, is after a successful project or performance review, during budgeting season, or just before your contract ends or an appraisal deadline.
