Get Compensated for What You're Worth (Part 2 of the 3-Part Video Series): "Turning Resistance Into Your Superpower"
Have you ever noticed that right when you’re about to ask for something important—like a raise, more resources, or a new opportunity—resistance shows up?
Maybe it’s worry, fear, or imposter syndrome whispering in your ear. Most of us, understandably, see these emotions as negative. . But what if they were actually superpowers in disguise?
Resistance is often our ego’s way of trying to protect us. But instead of fighting it, you can reframe it into wisdom and fuel.
Here’s how:
âś” First, notice the emotion: “I notice I feel worried.”
âś” Next, assume success is inevitable: “If I already had the outcome I wanted, what would this emotion advise me to do in order to be my best or improve?
One of my clients used this exact approach in a salary negotiation at a fast-growing startup. By reframing her worry, she did deeper preparation, clearly articulated her value, and—most importantly—positioned herself as the solution to the CEO’s biggest problem.
That shift made her ask not just credible, but compelling. And she walked away with an exciting offer that she was thrilled about.
This process is the same one Olympians use to turn fear and doubt into performance fuel. It doesn’t make the emotion go away—but it transforms it into becoming a powerful performance driver.

Our resistance isn’t here to stop us. It’s here to show us the way forward, if we are willing to make peace with it and learn from it.
đź’¬ When resistance shows up for you, do you fight it, ignore it, or listen for its wisdom? Share your perspective and experiences.
