Sam DeMase is the founder of Power Mood, a Career Confidence Coach, and Self-Advocacy Expert. She helps her clients and TikTok audience of 200,000 followers land the job they want and confidently ask for what they’re worth. Sam’s also on a mission to destroy the patriarchy. Her motto is: You get what you’re worth! “Don’t they see me shining? Where’s my promotion, where’s my pay-raise?” We assume that if we excel at work, we’ll be recognized and promoted. Unfortunately, that’s rarely the case. “One of the [ideas] I’ve debunked is that, if you work hard, opportunities will come to you.” Instead of waiting around, Sam stresses the importance of communicating your value and choosing confidence.
