At what age did you actually learn how to negotiate and who taught you? Was it something your family modeled, something you picked up online, or something you figured out the hard way on the job? I’m really curious how people developed this skill and when it finally “clicked” for you.

My parents walked me through it. They're both very successful businesspeople who have a ton of knowledge. They taught us from a young age to be self-advocates and not to let people push us around.

That’s so awesome. I wish I had this when I was younger.

I had a mentor at work walk me through it as I was applying for a new job. That helped immensely.

Mentors seem to be really helpful. I’ll need to get one. I have people that give advice but not an actual mentor. Thanks

It took me a while. My parents didn't teach me this skill lol. I was probably in my 30s before the confidence finally clicked for me. How about you?

Same! I wasn’t really aware about negotiating until mid 30s. Still have a hard time with it though.
