  Sep 10, 202648 minS14

  What would change if you walked into every room believing you belonged there? Traci Mitchell spent years as a television journalist covering Washington for Hearst Television stations across the country. In fact, she did live shots with me during our morning news 20 years ago. She once did 68 live shots in a single day, appeared on House of Cards and landed an interview with Oprah Winfrey that changed how she looked at herself. Traci left TV news for personal reasons and found herself in need of a major reinvention. That reinvention let to some serious negotiation...with herself. Today, she is a speaker , coach, storytelling expert, author and negotiation strategist. Her message is simple: The most important negotiation you will ever have is the one you have with yourself. Traci says women are often taught to be prepared for rejection, but not always prepared for success. That can make it difficult to ask for the promotion, negotiate the salary or accept a compliment without minimizing our accomplishments. Her advice? Prepare for “yes.” On this Dying to Ask: Why Traci left television after a terrifying experience involving her young daughter How she went from the anchor desk to acting on House of Cards The three-part framework for “walking in winning”: preparation, mindset and process Why you should prepare for the possibility that someone says, “You’re fantastic” How to negotiate your salary and ask for what you are worth Why naming your inner critic, Traci calls hers “Stephanie,” can help quiet its voice The importance of stepping back, seeing the bigger picture and deciding what you want next How to walk into any room ready, grounded and confident that you belong
