Coming in at #8: Should You Discuss Your Salary At Work with Yolanda Owens

This week, we’re talking about money. Salary transparency is still one of the most emotionally charged topics at work. And this conversation with career coach Yolanda Owens keeps finding new listeners because it’s about so much more than numbers. It’s about worth, fairness, and trust.

Yolanda and I dig into why talking about money at work feels taboo, how to approach salary conversations with confidence and curiosity (instead of comparison or conflict), and what real transparency looks like for both individuals and employers.

Key Takeaways From Today’s Episode

+ The salary conversation is about fairness and the trust between individuals and employers.

+ Approaching pay conversations with openness leads to better insight and outcomes, and less resentment.

+ Discomfort around money talk hasn’t gone away; it’s just evolved. We’re bolder about wanting transparency, but still unsure how to navigate it in real time.
