Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast. And today's episode is with Elizabeth Gwetti. She's a former employment litigator and ethics and equity practitioner and a negotiation coach. She's worked for some of the world's largest companies and industry leaders in contract management, negotiating six-figure contracts on a monthly basis. Most proudly, Elizabeth has coached

hundreds of women around the world in managing workplace negotiations and personal relationship

conflict, resulting in restore relationships between family members, siblings, and friends.

Elizabeth Gwetie is another personal friend of mine, and when you listen to this episode, you will know why I keep her in my life on rotation.

Elizabeth is the queen of negotiation. And I say that with no embellishment. You are going to see through this powerful, highly, highly, highly actionable episode just how to have a healed relationship with your ability to advocate for yourself and to get what you need out of any situation and specifically the professional realm.

Get a pen and paper for this episode, and baby, get ready to write because

she has so much goodness coming. As well as, think about questions you may want to ask for Elizabeth

because I want her to be somewhat of a regular answering questions from you, the audience, about how to

get what you deserve, your worth, your value, your compensation all the way together.

I hope you enjoyed this episode and you enjoy Elizabeth as much as I do.

I just want to ask you, how are you doing? I am amazing.

Thank you so much, Kelly, for having me. It's so good to connect with you and talk about this

important topic as we are really thinking about now that we're in the new year, what are the

to show up better, to take up the space that we deserve to take up and do it with wellness. And so I'm super excited to connect with you. I'm so ready to jump into this topic. There's so much. I don't want to be here for eight days with you, but you know, I could if I, if it can tell me, go ahead and go for it. But for the time that we have, I'm super
