“It is never a no. It is a redirection.”
Amina, an award winning CEO, shares a fast track from retail and HR to C Suite by filling business gaps, keeping receipts on impact and advocating early. Her playbook is simple: flip what is your current salary to what does this role pay, ask often to build the confidence muscle and time requests with the economy while weighing total compensation. She treats rest as strategy, uses rapport and second degree networks to open doors and stays sharp with trusted news and AI digests. The takeaway: be your own number one fan and run toward the opportunity.
