Know Your Value, Negotiate Your Salary

Cherie Lemer

As a technology leader supporting health and safety initiatives, Cherie builds technology solutions that reduce the risk of injury and death for colleagues and the surrounding community every day. Yet, the minute she enters the classroom to teach my job readiness bootcamp, she is reminded that the work she does during the day is changing the nature of work for her students. Many technology executives will tell you that someone will have to do something to help people adapt to a world in which careers are constantly impacted by AI and automation. Cherie wants to be that someone.

In addition to an understanding of how technology is impacting careers of both today and tomorrow, Cherie has more than 20 years of experience in teaching, training, and communications focusing on social impact and behavior change. In this work, she has mentored people through their career transitions and built educational programs to enhance the competitiveness of people entering new career fields. She is proud to have been the co-conspirator for many who have gotten into graduate school, received promotions, negotiated higher salaries, and landed jobs they thought were out of their reach.
