Championing the Financial Advancement of Women with Claire Wasserman
To 'level up' our careers, we have to take ownership of our worth!
And that also means getting PAID what we're worth as well.
It takes a significant shift to start seeing and valuing ourselves… and takes determination to keep fighting for what we're worth despite the opposition. What kind of resources and communities are out there for women struggling to claim their worth? And what can we do about it?
On this episode of "And She Spoke," we speak with Claire Wasserman, an entrepreneur and passionate advocate for women's professional + financial advancement.
Claire shares her story of one seemingly minor interaction that changed the course of her life, and led to her founding Ladies Get Paid, a monumental organization assisting over 75,000 women in 120 countries in leveling up their careers.
She openly challenges the social norms that hold us back and is honest about how making money is the first step in improving the wage and leadership gap. Ultimately, we need to rethink our limiting beliefs by sharing our stories and getting paid what we're worth.
Here’s a peek at what else we discuss:
The town hall that changed Claire's life
Normalizing the conversation around money
How to set the right value for your work
When we should take breaks to recharge
How Ladies Get Paid was founded
Achieving inclusivity in her organization

Know Your Numbers
In our business, we're big fans of financial literacy and accountability. Knowing your numbers is an essential aspect of building a successful business and inherent responsibility for any entrepreneur.
What you focus on grows, so pay attention to your money.
We use Bench for our bookkeeping. It's simple, elegant, and saves us so many hours that would otherwise be spent neck-deep in receipts on the other side of a spreadsheet.
Each month our transactions are automatically imported into Bench and we get on-demand financial reports. We even enjoy opening up our profit and loss statement to review each month. When tax time comes around, we are up to date and ready to go. And this is what Financial Empowerment feels like.
