Welcome to the Diversitas July 2021 Newsletter

Grow Your Mental Fitness & Reduce Your Stress & Anxiety

• Join Me as Your Coach for This Amazing 6 Week Mental Fitness Program

• You Will Not Regret It, Plus, It’s Free for Past & Current Clients

The past 18 months has proven mentally exhausting for even the most robust of us, particularly for those in Victoria as we go through lockdown number 5. Like my clients, I am somewhat of a high achiever who likes to keep moving forward and to work and live with positivity and purpose. That is not always easy, particularly in a pandemic. Those negative thoughts, voices and the internal critic have been playing too loudly for many of us as work and life becomes more challenging with less certainty, more self- doubt and greater strains placed on our relationships at work and home.

How the Program Works

A few years ago, I discovered the work of Shirzard Chamine, and his book ‘Positive Intelligence’ which I highly recommend. The program is based on the work of Shirzard Charmine. If you would like to join me as your Coach & Pod Leader, I have 5 spots available for the 6-week Positive Intelligence Program. All you need is a mobile phone to download the positive intelligence app and 15 minutes a day to do the exercises. Plus 1 hour a week to watch the videos and 1 hour to join the pod for a weekly Zoom Group Coaching Session. Note: Group coaching session is optional. However, to get the value from the program you need to get the app, do the daily exercises and watch a weekly video.

Program Fee

There is no cost for past or current clients. We want to thank you for supporting the business over the years. If this program helps with your mental fitness during this time, that makes us incredibly happy.

For those who have not been a client, please email for pricing. Note: if you do this program via Shirzard’s site Master Your Mind, Master Your Life | Positive Intelligence it is $995 US. This program is used by companies such as Google, Stanford University, Amazon, PayPal.

To Learn More &/Or Join the Program

If we are connected email or call me to discuss or book your spot. Or to read more about the positive intelligence program Grow Your Mental Fitness & Reduce Your Stress & Anxiety - Free 6 Week Positive Intelligence Program and sign up visit the program page which has more information.

Why Women Need to Negotiate Their Salary More!

I have been speaking and writing on the topic of women and salary negotiation for some years now. As a working woman with children (including a daughter) it is a topic that I am passionate about. Throughout my career I have been fortunate to work with many amazing men and women. However as has traditionally been the way, the women have remained underpaid in relation to their male counterparts. While this is gradually changing, there certainly needs to be more support to assist women in both preparing for and having these discussions.

Take heart if you are one of those women who find is the whole concept of salary negotiation unsettling – it is completely normal. It appears that women more so than men find salary negotiation entirely daunting and as such avoid it. This is to their detriment when it comes to their pay checks. Certainly, employers could be more forthcoming in relation to setting up and encouraging salary negotiation meetings however let’s be realistic this is never going to happen. The responsibility sits with working women to take charge and initiate these conversations more than we have been doing. It is the only way. If you do not ask you don’t get!

Some of the reasons why women resist engaging in salary negotiation and career promotion conversations include our different personality types, social conditioning, overvaluing competency, over-thinking the process, lack of confidence and simply failing to act. Without acting nothing will change.

For those looking for support and guidance in conducting the salary negotiation, I have written The Busy Women’s Guide to… Salary Negotiation. The guide has been written to provide the essential information and tools women all over the world need to conduct an effective salary negotiation. All you have to do is follow the process and start the negotiation ball rolling - be it with your current employer or a new employer. Important note: this guide is just as useful for men as it is for women who struggle with engaging in salary package negotiation conversations.

Salary Negotiation Guide (Complimentary)

Three wonderful trends I am seeing in the market are:

1. Employers are wanting mature, skilled experienced candidates

2. Employees are feeling more empowered in their careers

3. Employees are increasingly starting to negotiate their salary packages

Please email kelly@diversitas.com.au if you would like a free copy of my 55 page salary negotiation book /guide.

This week I received a lovely email from someone I coached through a salary negotiation process. They were being offered a salary at the lowest band of pay rather than the highest - even though they had wonderful experience to offer. Through the salary guide a call and email they were able to secure the highest pay rate in the band.

“A huge thank you for your support with my salary negotiation. Your advice helped me to be more confident in the negotiations - I was able to achieve the highest rate!” HR Professional

PODCAST OF THE MONTH - Smarter Side Gigs - HBR IdeaCast

Ken Banta, founder of the Vanguard Network, and Orlan Boston, partner at Ernst & Young, argue that every aspiring leader needs to have a side gig -- not to pursue a crazy dream or earn some extra cash but to enhance their skills, knowledge, and network in a way that benefits their existing careers. The key is to find meaningful and strategic roles that help you bring new insights and experience to your day job, and you can even let your boss in on your plans. Banta and Boston are the authors of the HBR article "The Strategic Side Gig."
