In this powerful client success story, Coach Mo interviews Elisa, a talented engineer who went from being shot down for a raise after 22 years of loyal service to landing her dream job with a 60% salary increase—all within 12 weeks of soul-powered coaching.

Elisa's transformation began at her lowest point. After thoroughly researching comparable salaries and documenting her extensive contributions, she formally requested a promotion and raise on a Thursday morning. By Thursday afternoon, her request was completely rejected without consideration. This devastating blow left her depressed, physically unwell, and considering retirement or starting her own company—anything to escape the soul-crushing environment where her value wasn't recognized.

Through Coach Mo's 12-week Soul Powered Career Coaching program, Elisa reconnected with her authentic power and learned to advocate for herself strategically. The transformation was remarkable: within weeks of optimizing her LinkedIn profile, recruiters were reaching out. She went from hiding her light to confidently articulating her worth in interviews, ultimately receiving multiple job offers.

But this isn't just a story about salary negotiation. Elisa's journey reveals the deeper truth about why talented women stay stuck in undervalued positions. As an introverted engineer who believed that working hard and keeping her head down would eventually be rewarded, she learned that visibility, strategic self-advocacy, and understanding her true worth were essential skills missing from her toolkit.

The interview explores how soul-level coaching addressed not just tactical job search skills, but the foundational confidence and self-worth issues that had kept Elisa accepting less than she deserved. Her new role isn't just higher-paying—she's now leading a technical team, working on projects that align with her values, and finally feels excited to go to work each day.

For any professional woman who's been told to be patient, work harder, or wait their turn, Elisa's story demonstrates that investing in yourself and your advancement isn't selfish—it's essential.
