I swear to goddess every one of your posts is such a wealth of advice and a whole entire book! Thank you!! Like Chicken Soup for the Blank series, which is lame AF, but it's a very sticky concept. There is a book series in your future.

I wanted to thank you for your newsletter, Really Good Work Advice, which singlehandedly delivered a plethora of insights, tools, and techniques that I began applying that very morning. It's not just good advice - it's great!

Claire just gave me an incredibly helpful review of my LinkedIn profile that I'm confident will boost my reach to potential clients. I’ve been a Ladies Get Paid follower/student/champion for years now (I used to re-watch Claire's recording of "How to nail the job interview” seminar before EVERY job interview and it led me to really incredible opportunities, and compensation)! Her book has been my salary negotiation bible for years. Thank for all the work you do to empower us to go after what we want and deserve.

I joined Ladies Get Hired and got to learn from Claire as I started navigating the job search process after a layoff and it was 100% the right decision. Claire's grounded enthusiasm and practical advice pushed me to get clear on my goals and craft strong materials. The Ladies Get Hired program covered a ton of ground and not only is my resume stronger, but my confidence is too. Work with Claire to build momentum in your job search, in community with thoughtful women doing the same thing. You'll be supported not only with sound strategies, a clear plan, and ideas you can action immediately but also a positive, empowering space to build momentum in your job search and career.

There are a ton of career coaches out there, and most of them provide similar, non-groundbreaking advice. Claire Wasserman is one of the few who I recommend whole heartedly. She makes me sharper in a very small amount of time. I’m excited about her new newsletter.

Claire taught me how to better advocate for myself both professionally and personally. This resulted in me successfully requesting a raise at work! Claire is professional, kind, and genuinely wants to ensure that all of us ladies get paid. Thank you for everything!

I really enjoyed my session with Claire! She introduced me to useful tools that I can apply in my day-to-day to better manage high-pressure and overwhelming situations. Our conversation also prompted some self-reflection, helping me explore who I am outside of my career—a part of myself that often gets overlooked. If you're seeking clarity not just in your career but also in the environment you're navigating, I highly recommend reaching out to Claire. Thank you!

I still need to work on my imposter syndrome, but talking about these common roadblocks in the workplace for women has been so indelible to me. I'm finding myself growing a larger mental bandwidth on how to navigate a career path and asking for what I want. For instance, yesterday, I helped my cousin practice for an interview. I heard your voice throughout the whole meeting playing in my head and stopped her whenever she got self-deprecating or sounded like she was unsure of her capabilities for the position. I blew her away with all the borrowed advice I gave her, and she told me the information was so valuable. I shared that my newfound confidence was from Ladies Get Paid and to sign-up! So, thank you for reminding me of my worth and how I deserve to find a high paying job if I want it. Know these are hard times, but I'm learning so much through all the chaos!

Negative self talk is an ugly monster that takes a vacation every once in a while, but when it comes back, it's so powerful and zaps everything from you. I really loved all the tips and techniques to boost my self esteem and self worth. Hopefully I'll be able to keep this monster at bay and to make him smaller in the future. Thanks Claire and thanks, Indeed! I hope to be able to join these types of trainings in the future!!! Keep 'em coming!

Claire was able to quickly take in all of the feedback and coaching that I have gotten from others and put it together in a powerful and actionable way. One day after speaking with her, I launched a newsletter -- an idea that had been stuck for months. She is an excellent listener and has a heart that pushes you into action. You won't be stuck anymore after talking with Claire.

I scheduled a coaching session with Claire when I was feeling stuck - having already gone through a few career transitions, my most recent being the biggest yet (including leaving a corporate career in the US to move to France pursuing culinary school) - and I was looking for help in how to get back my motivation and inspiration during yet another moment of uncertainty about the future. Claire helped me to understand that the "stuck" feeling was coming from a place of self protection, and even though it felt terrible, it was in reality a beneficial positive push which was forcing me to find myself. She gave me concrete strategies, and I left feeling so incredibly seen and supported. The time spent was well worth Claire's coaching fee, because I realized that it was going to cost me a lot more if I didn't take some action. I also can refer back to the recording and transcript of our conversation when I need to remind myself of the big ideas that were uncovered during our discussion - a huge value. Thank you Claire!

This was the best workshop I've been too! She delivered practical advice and helped with unique scenarios asked by the group.

Working with Claire is a 10/10 experience! I really felt heard and seen. She quickly got to the crux of my problem, she shared some great ideas, and inspired a few of my own as well. Best of all, I was able to use the momentum from our session to get unstuck. I sat down right after and banged out something I had been struggling with for weeks within 24 hours! I was NOT expecting that.

This conversation with Claire was a wild ride in the best ways! Realizing my core values and how to remember them when working on my goals was so valuable! For what is life without remaining true to yourself?? And on that note I loved how Claire noted that you cannot create without healing yourself first and we need to remember that nourishing ourselves is a sustainable way to stay committed to what we want to accomplish. I highly recommend working with Claire as she keeps things real in a positive light by being someone who will actually listen to what you're saying and then provide advice that you NEED to hear.

This beautiful morning in Chicago I took a walk and finally go to listen, be present, & soak in your presentation. WOW WOW WOW. As I listened to your book many times, I see myself listening to this on repeat. I want to see another book by you Claire! You are amazing. During the middle of your presentation, I got a text from a leader. I started to create a narrative about the response from them to control the situation. I used your techniques and got out of my head. This was so valuable to BMO and our colleagues. Oh your part on perfectionism- chef’s kiss

Claire provided the perfect balance of validation and challenge during our session. In a world where advice often feels like a constant "stop doing this," I found myself overwhelmed by the job search process. Claire’s coaching not only reaffirmed the things I was doing well but also introduced new ways to improve, pushing me to think differently. She struck a delicate balance between motivating me and keeping me from feeling defeated. Her insights gave me a fresh perspective and a practical, actionable plan that doesn’t feel like an impossible climb. Job hunting can be a beast, often feeling like it's leading nowhere, but Claire’s guidance really helped me refocus and move forward with confidence.

I attended both a talk and meet-up led by Claire. She makes entrepreneurship accessible and also brings people together so that you realize you're not in it alone. She's also "walked the walk" and built an incredibly successful business but isn't shy about sharing the challenges and how she's overcome them.

I appreciate that Claire is vulnerable in what she shares online. By the time you get to a coaching session with her, you feel like you're talking to a friend as she allows her audience to get to know her personally. In my opinion, this is an underrated quality that sets Claire apart from other coaches. This allowed me to be vulnerable with Claire in return, which led me to a breakthrough. I was struggling to find my voice again after being silenced by an NDA. Claire helped me see and forge a path forward towards helping others who feel like they are being silenced as well. Claire helped me see, that being of service to others helps heal myself in the process.

Deidre Huntington
President & Founder Synergia Communications
Where to start! My session with Claire was really eye-opening in that I realized I wasn't jazzed about the audience my business is serving, and therefore, was feeling unclear about what product/services to offer. I now I have a clear picture of who I want to support, and that not only makes it easier to figure out what to offer them, but I'm excited about my work (and I haven't been in a while)! I would recommend that anyone who is feeling unclear, stuck, or un-jazzed about any area of their life work with Claire. We all have blindspots when it comes to ourselves and Claire has a talent for identifying them and establishing tangible action steps to take. And she does it gently and empathetically - no judgements here!

Claire has a unique coaching style: she finds a way to be encouraging and empathetic without sugarcoating things and grounds her perspective in reality, acknowledging the positive and negative feelings and circumstances one might be moving through.

It's about having the full agency to setting myself up for success, and that's in my control!

Claire is a gifted speaker! She leads with a sense of awareness and has the ability to make everyone in the room feel at ease. On most occasions, speakers just fill time with their presentation and save a few minutes for questions at the end. Claire is clearly passionate about sharing knowledge (hence the whole origin story of Ladies Get Paid!). It's rare for a speaker to create a sense of community in under 30 minutes, but Claire does it!

I was recently the fortunate recipient of Claire's free summer coaching sessions. What makes Claire effective as a coach is her quick, yet thoughtful diagnosis of a situation. We spoke for 45 minutes, and at the end of the session, I had three solid action items to start immediately. I also felt more inspired and alive after our time together then I had in a quite a while. Claire is honest, speaks from experience and a place of empathy. For most people who are struggling with something, those attributes are mission critical to someone who may feel solutionless, adrift and uninspired. I was impressed with Claire's preparation, energy and willingness to be nimble. I know some coaches who never ask for feedback. Claire, several times throughout our session, asked for my feedback and thoughts on her ideas and suggestions. This is an opportunity to work with someone who has mastered being herself and knows how to evoke the same from someone else. I highly recommend Claire and hope that you will not miss this the opportunity to work with her.

Claire is dynamic, inspiring, and has contagious energy- she makes you feel like any goal is achievable.

Claire is the quintessential career coach. She literally wrote the book on owning your worth!

Swati Ayyar
My conversation with Claire highlighted ways in which I could better manage interviews. By taking the pressure of "telling my stories" just so and moving the interview into a more "conversational" state, as the interviewee, I can 1) understand what problems the team/hiring manager might be trying to solve and 2) showcase in the interview how I might try to address them. At the end of the day, people want to understand what it would be like to work with someone, and what better way to show that than through a conversational working session?!? You should work with Claire if you want someone who is both direct and encouraging - she'll tell you what you can do better (e.g. in terms of interviewing) while simultaneously reminding you are a rockstar.

All I can say is WOW. What makes Claire stand out is that she has a really wonderful way of giving you the advice you need to hear to propel you forward without making you feel like badly about where you're at. Claire gave me some creative, out of the box ideas (well, what I would consider out the box!) that could really help me stand out on LinkedIn (for example), things I never considered doing. So, if you're looking for a kind, straight shooter kind of coach, look no further- Claire will help propel you into that next career chapter, whatever it may look like for you! Remember, the best investments you can make are ones in yourself, because they will always keep on giving!!!

I learn from her everytime I get her newsletter, it is one of the few emails I open everytime. When expertise, experience and authenticity align it creates impact.

As a creative struggling to showcase my value at work and negotiate confidently, Ladies Get Hired and Claire's expert guidance had a huge impact on my outlook surrounding career growth, finances, and networking.

The focus on supporting everyone in our cohort was also really valuable. I met amazing women from all over the US, and everyone brought something different to the table. We all worked together to reach our professional goals, and everyone was so generous with their time and connections. It was awesome to be part of such a supportive community.

A little about me: I moved to LA for the summer to work a low-paying but dream gig, and when I got back to NYC, I was sort of at a loss. What should I do? What did I want to do? How would I pay the bills prior to transitioning back full-time to LA in the winter? In steps LGP. Without LGP, I wouldn’t have acquired all the great remote work I’ve gotten and, essentially, wouldn’t be able to move back to LA. Therefore, one of my big goals when I get to LA is to become more involved with LGP IRL. I can’t thank you enough for this incredible community you’ve built. The access, education and opportunity to connect is so valuable and easy to take advantage of. I’ve enjoyed these experiences and I have been able to grow my business through some of the relationships I’ve made through Ladies Get Paid meet-ups and through the slack channels.

I am 49 years old, a mom of 3 stepchildren and 2 biological children. I have been taking care of kids, pets, houses, volunteer causes, you name it, since age 24.My youngest is about to graduate from high school and go to college; this is an important transition time for me. I have taken time off from work, gone back to work, taken time off again...etc over the past 25 years and my career has proceeded very slowly. This is in spite of the fact I have an MBA in finance and statistics from a top 3 university. I have always been afraid of the business world in spite of my elite education, and I have always felt like a small underachiever even though my earlier life groomed me for the top.I heard about Ladies Get Paid from a podcast while walking my dog. The minute I got home I found the LGP website and signed up. I also signed up for the LGP salary negotiation webinar. I have since listened to the webinar twice and am working through it a third time, taking notes in my career journal.This came at just the right time, as I had 3 interviews this week.I have had better interviews than ever before in my life! I am confident and presenting myself as a top performer. I am marketing myself as someone who is worth top dollar. I am not letting my checkered work experience get me down, in fact I am finally starting to be proud of how much I have done during my limited career, and how much I have done as pro bono work.Thank you so much for founding Ladies Get Paid and putting together the salary negotiation webinar. There are so many women who need it. I only wish this organization existed 25 years ago.

I met Claire Wasserman, Founder of Ladies Get Paid at a time when I was feeling uneasy about my own negotiation. I can't even begin to explain the amount of advice, assurance, and compassion she showed me. Safe to say, she's a force to be reckoned with and is empowering women across this nation to get what they're owed. I had an opportunity to sit down with her for a Her Agenda #PowerAgenda interview to discuss her work and motivation behind Ladies Get Paid, the importance of following our curiosity, and being our own cheerleader!

On a personal level, I appreciated the acknowledgement that women frequently feel lucky to get a job and that the onus is always placed on women to prove ourselves.

Words cannot describe the empowerment I felt from not only speaking at the conference on Saturday but just by being there surrounded with so many “amazingly strong and courageous women. Thank you thank you!

I wanted to thank you all for putting together such an incredible and informative event. I learned a lot, and felt honored to be able to volunteer and help out. I also wanted to thank you, because it was obvious that you made strides to make the event inclusive, as you fight to end the wage gap for all women.

The LGP conference was life changing to me- I had already negotiated my new dream position, and was set to start salary negotiations for the week after the conference- very lucky timing. In the 'how to ask for a raise' session I realized I was about to ask for less that I deserved based on how I was hired, not my current output i.e. I realized I was going to let my history decide the next step. That session was the difference of a 15k increase to me.

Thank you for bringing the Ladies Get Paid conference to Seattle last week. I thought it was excellent and I got a lot out of the experience. I will be looking for other opportunities to connect with the Ladies Get Paid network. I learned something from each panel, and your keynote really hit home. I wish Ladies Get Paid all the success in the world.

Thank you for putting on an incredible day last weekend. I was nervous and hesitant as to what to expect but I left feeling empowered and inspired. I can’t wait to participate in future LGP events and invite all of my girlfriends with me as I believe we all need to be immersed into this force field you’ve created.

I attended the Get Money Get Paid conference in Seattle yesterday, and I just wanted so say a big thank you to you and the team. I attended with a friend, and both of us have been saying "we're going to start applying for new jobs soon" for the past 3 months. Unsurprisingly, we've made zero progress with our "soon" mentality. We both left the conference fired up and not only ready to get after new positions that will pay us what we're worth, but also inspired to find new ways to smash the fucking patriarchy.

Overall, I expected to enjoy the talk, but not to the extent that I did. I left feeling empowered and unstoppable. I felt as if I had a room full of strangers that supported and rooted for my success. I now feel more prepared for any discrimination I may face as I enter the workforce as a woman, as well as being more informed on how to handle those situations. I would highly recommend this talk to any of my peers and have followed the Ladies Get Paid ILM Instagram so I can be informed of additional activities I can attend. I wholeheartedly cannot thank you for covering my ticket, I obtained knowledge tonight that I will carry for the rest of my career life.

By attending this talk, I was able to learn from other women who have experienced the hardships and unfairness in the business world first-hand. It became evident from stories of unfair pay, sexual harassment, and derogatory comments that being a woman in a position of power is not easy. Not only were these stories told from the members in the audience, the panel of intelligent and experienced women were able to give advice on how to handle the situation. I am a firm believer that women were raised to compete with one another, which is why women can be so backstabbing and mean. Despite this belief, these women supported one another unconditionally, even those whom they had never even met prior. They were friendly and supportive of one another, a setting that I have rarely seen but was so proud to be a part of.

On November 8, 2017 at 6:30 pm, I had the honor of attending the Ladies Get Paid discussion. There was a panel of six business women who gathered at the front of the room who were questioned by the founder, Claire Wasserman. Although Wasserman began asking questions to form discussions from those on the panel, the eager and active audience began revealing their questions and heartfelt stories. From the audience I was able to see all these strong women clap, laugh, and shed tears together. Although I had not spoken to majority of the women gathered in the small Beam Room above Front St. Brewery, I felt an unspoken bond and friendship with them all by the end of this 2.5-hour discussion.

I loved the intimacy of the event: the size was perfect. I also really loved that it was an open conversation of shared experiences and that audience members were also welcomed to share. I also loved that there were a ton of different industries represented. What I think was perfect: having an panel of many ages, backgrounds, and industries.

I wanted to let you all know that, thanks to my workshop with you last month, I was approached by 2 Market Media (a media partnership company) and officially signed with them today! They reached out after seeing me on LGP's social channels, and we're now going to be working together to launch my podcast, get a book proposal going, re-launch my online course, get me higher-paying speaking gigs, and (hopefully) get me to the next level with my personal brand.

Hi Claire, this draft email has been sitting in my inbox for far too long haha. I'm following up to say thanks once again for all the help you provided me before my negotiation and provide an update. It went so well and I know for sure that I felt equipped because of all the amazing tools and resources you sent me. Also, having the deck to refer to was such a huge help and I am extremely grateful that you trusted me enough to share it with me.

I hope you get a million emails like this a day. You did a Webinar at Team One a few months ago. It was timely because I was interviewing and I used every inch of your presentation and many articles from the Slack channel to negotiate. I did what you said: talk about salary. I found out I was making less than other employees at my level here (don't worry, I'm paid less than both men and women. I would have burned this place to the ground if it was gender-based). I used that and everything else you shared to negotiate and am happy with where I landed. (I did second guess myself and thought maybe I could have gotten a little more since I was so successful - now I know for next time). I've shared so much of what I learned to other women and hope to LITERALLY pay it forward.

Claire just gave me an incredibly helpful review of my LinkedIn profile that I'm confident will boost my reach to potential clients. I’ve been a Ladies Get Paid follower/student/champion for years now (I used to re-watch Claire's recording of "How to nail the job interview” seminar before EVERY job interview and it led me to really incredible opportunities, and compensation)! Her book has been my salary negotiation bible for years. Thank for all the work you do to empower us to go after what we want and deserve.

I joined Ladies Get Hired and got to learn from Claire as I started navigating the job search process after a layoff and it was 100% the right decision. Claire's grounded enthusiasm and practical advice pushed me to get clear on my goals and craft strong materials. The Ladies Get Hired program covered a ton of ground and not only is my resume stronger, but my confidence is too. Work with Claire to build momentum in your job search, in community with thoughtful women doing the same thing. You'll be supported not only with sound strategies, a clear plan, and ideas you can action immediately but also a positive, empowering space to build momentum in your job search and career.

There are a ton of career coaches out there, and most of them provide similar, non-groundbreaking advice. Claire Wasserman is one of the few who I recommend whole heartedly. She makes me sharper in a very small amount of time. I’m excited about her new newsletter.

I really enjoyed my session with Claire! She introduced me to useful tools that I can apply in my day-to-day to better manage high-pressure and overwhelming situations. Our conversation also prompted some self-reflection, helping me explore who I am outside of my career—a part of myself that often gets overlooked. If you're seeking clarity not just in your career but also in the environment you're navigating, I highly recommend reaching out to Claire. Thank you!

I still need to work on my imposter syndrome, but talking about these common roadblocks in the workplace for women has been so indelible to me. I'm finding myself growing a larger mental bandwidth on how to navigate a career path and asking for what I want. For instance, yesterday, I helped my cousin practice for an interview. I heard your voice throughout the whole meeting playing in my head and stopped her whenever she got self-deprecating or sounded like she was unsure of her capabilities for the position. I blew her away with all the borrowed advice I gave her, and she told me the information was so valuable. I shared that my newfound confidence was from Ladies Get Paid and to sign-up! So, thank you for reminding me of my worth and how I deserve to find a high paying job if I want it. Know these are hard times, but I'm learning so much through all the chaos!

Claire was able to quickly take in all of the feedback and coaching that I have gotten from others and put it together in a powerful and actionable way. One day after speaking with her, I launched a newsletter -- an idea that had been stuck for months. She is an excellent listener and has a heart that pushes you into action. You won't be stuck anymore after talking with Claire.

I scheduled a coaching session with Claire when I was feeling stuck - having already gone through a few career transitions, my most recent being the biggest yet (including leaving a corporate career in the US to move to France pursuing culinary school) - and I was looking for help in how to get back my motivation and inspiration during yet another moment of uncertainty about the future. Claire helped me to understand that the "stuck" feeling was coming from a place of self protection, and even though it felt terrible, it was in reality a beneficial positive push which was forcing me to find myself. She gave me concrete strategies, and I left feeling so incredibly seen and supported. The time spent was well worth Claire's coaching fee, because I realized that it was going to cost me a lot more if I didn't take some action. I also can refer back to the recording and transcript of our conversation when I need to remind myself of the big ideas that were uncovered during our discussion - a huge value. Thank you Claire!

Working with Claire is a 10/10 experience! I really felt heard and seen. She quickly got to the crux of my problem, she shared some great ideas, and inspired a few of my own as well. Best of all, I was able to use the momentum from our session to get unstuck. I sat down right after and banged out something I had been struggling with for weeks within 24 hours! I was NOT expecting that.

This conversation with Claire was a wild ride in the best ways! Realizing my core values and how to remember them when working on my goals was so valuable! For what is life without remaining true to yourself?? And on that note I loved how Claire noted that you cannot create without healing yourself first and we need to remember that nourishing ourselves is a sustainable way to stay committed to what we want to accomplish. I highly recommend working with Claire as she keeps things real in a positive light by being someone who will actually listen to what you're saying and then provide advice that you NEED to hear.

This beautiful morning in Chicago I took a walk and finally go to listen, be present, & soak in your presentation. WOW WOW WOW. As I listened to your book many times, I see myself listening to this on repeat. I want to see another book by you Claire! You are amazing. During the middle of your presentation, I got a text from a leader. I started to create a narrative about the response from them to control the situation. I used your techniques and got out of my head. This was so valuable to BMO and our colleagues. Oh your part on perfectionism- chef’s kiss

Claire provided the perfect balance of validation and challenge during our session. In a world where advice often feels like a constant "stop doing this," I found myself overwhelmed by the job search process. Claire’s coaching not only reaffirmed the things I was doing well but also introduced new ways to improve, pushing me to think differently. She struck a delicate balance between motivating me and keeping me from feeling defeated. Her insights gave me a fresh perspective and a practical, actionable plan that doesn’t feel like an impossible climb. Job hunting can be a beast, often feeling like it's leading nowhere, but Claire’s guidance really helped me refocus and move forward with confidence.

I attended both a talk and meet-up led by Claire. She makes entrepreneurship accessible and also brings people together so that you realize you're not in it alone. She's also "walked the walk" and built an incredibly successful business but isn't shy about sharing the challenges and how she's overcome them.

I interacted with Claire at InBound and it was my favorite “meet-up” of the whole conference. She had great insight into how to “get over the hump” and begin monetizing yourself and your skills in an effective and maintainable way. I would highly recommend her.

I appreciate that Claire is vulnerable in what she shares online. By the time you get to a coaching session with her, you feel like you're talking to a friend as she allows her audience to get to know her personally. In my opinion, this is an underrated quality that sets Claire apart from other coaches. This allowed me to be vulnerable with Claire in return, which led me to a breakthrough. I was struggling to find my voice again after being silenced by an NDA. Claire helped me see and forge a path forward towards helping others who feel like they are being silenced as well. Claire helped me see, that being of service to others helps heal myself in the process.

Deidre Huntington
President & Founder Synergia Communications
Where to start! My session with Claire was really eye-opening in that I realized I wasn't jazzed about the audience my business is serving, and therefore, was feeling unclear about what product/services to offer. I now I have a clear picture of who I want to support, and that not only makes it easier to figure out what to offer them, but I'm excited about my work (and I haven't been in a while)! I would recommend that anyone who is feeling unclear, stuck, or un-jazzed about any area of their life work with Claire. We all have blindspots when it comes to ourselves and Claire has a talent for identifying them and establishing tangible action steps to take. And she does it gently and empathetically - no judgements here!

Claire has a unique coaching style: she finds a way to be encouraging and empathetic without sugarcoating things and grounds her perspective in reality, acknowledging the positive and negative feelings and circumstances one might be moving through.

Claire is a gifted speaker! She leads with a sense of awareness and has the ability to make everyone in the room feel at ease. On most occasions, speakers just fill time with their presentation and save a few minutes for questions at the end. Claire is clearly passionate about sharing knowledge (hence the whole origin story of Ladies Get Paid!). It's rare for a speaker to create a sense of community in under 30 minutes, but Claire does it!
