Most professionals are undercutting their own negotiating position and don't know it.

I call this The Apology Tax: negotiating your value like an apology instead of a business case. Leading with gratitude instead of data. Over-explaining instead of proposing. Softening asks to preserve relationships instead of stating terms. Over a 10-year career, this pattern costs $500K+ in cumulative earnings.

Join me for a conversation with Dr. Patrick Scott, PhD, LCSW, LFAPA, DCSW, CHT, on the behavioral patterns that trigger The Apology Tax and how to spot them before they cost you.

Listen to learn:

• The specific behaviors that undercut your leverage in negotiations without you realizing it
• Four early indicators that you're losing ground in your career before it's visible in the numbers
• Where professional identity gets compromised for career advancement and what that costs
• How to reclaim ground you've already lost at the negotiating table

If this hits close to home, you're likely paying the Apology Tax. Learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbNaevGFDkw

Gene has built a decades-long career in litigation while staying deeply embedded in the profession — the ABA, his community, his practice. That kind of longevity doesn't happen by accident. I wanted to find out what he's doing that most senior lawyers quietly stop doing before they hit their breaking point.

Listen to learn:

• how the small, chronic frustrations inside a firm — the ones nobody talks about — are exactly what drives senior leaders to 211 degrees before they quietly walk out the door
• what law firm leaders can learn from Gene's career about building cultures where senior talent actually wants to stay
• how to think about handing off your case load to others while honoring all the relationships involved

If this conversation made you wonder how close your own senior leaders are to the breaking point, let's talk. I help managing partners find out before it costs them $3 million.

Emotional Resonance Factor® Podcast Subseries of KatyG Podcast

“I can’t really tell when I’m working or not [because it’s just something I enjoy]”

What if you could make lots of money AND enjoy how you make it; being productive and happy and fulfilled? 

In my first episode of my new subseries of the KatyG Podcast, Emotional Resonance Factor®, I interview Sherwin Dowlat, Co-Founder of Veil. As a disruptor and innovator, when others hated bitcoin and didn’t understand it, Sherwin created an industry so he could research and do what he loved. His goal? To be happy and productive and fulfilled, rather than to just make money and be unhappy and unfulfilled. The result? Just that. Plus, financial freedom. 

Can it get any better??!?!? 😊

Sherwin asks you:  “How much of your day do you enjoy and do you look forward to your day?”

Listen and learn how Sherwin used his emotional resonance to get to his amazing results- all by his early 30s. This inaugural episode will clarify your path to your own Emotional Resonance Factor®, how you can make lots of money and do it all on your own terms as a leader and human being with feelings.

To reach Sherwin, email him at: Sherwin@veil.capital

What would it look like for you to love yourself like never before? This is the inquiry at the heart of my guest’s amazing work in the world. 

If you are going to listen to just ONE episode of my podcast, do yourself a favor and make it this one. 

My guest, Scott Stabile, has been hailed by Elizabeth Gilbert (“Eat, Pray, Love”) as being someone, “I adore and admire everything Scott creates.” Scott makes a lot of noise for the power of love in our lives because healing and success doesn’t get supported without love.

• Knowing your needs
• Giving yourself grace when our actions are not aligned with loving yourself
• How love can show up in activism
• Why self-love supports how you show up for others (at work, at home, etc)
• Becoming a more aware observer

Come listen, learn, and have some fun on a topic that applies to all of us and can powerfully move us forward instantly on our way to growth, success and fulfillment.

I started this podcast because, as a healer,  I was curious at how the world defines healing and healers.   So I thought I would start asking and learn.

I’ve spent my entire life, first as a securities lawyer, and now as an expert and consultant, supporting others.  It took me years to find my real purpose as a healer:  opening up a portal for clients to look at the core of who they are in a relaxed, fun way so they can tap into their own power to get more clients, grow their fan base, get noticed and be taken seriously.

Healers and healing comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes and professions!  So let’s talk to my first guest, Cassandra Kubinski who heals as a musician, and learn.
