Get ready to supercharge your career 🚀
I teach women to take big swings in their careers so they can earn more and live better.
Hi, I’m Claire Wasserman 👋
Since the age of eight when I convinced Paul Simon, through sheer charisma, to cast me in his Broadway show (I had a terrible audition, trust me), I’ve believed in the power of self-advocacy as the key to opportunity.
While I know that it may not come naturally to everyone, I’m convinced anyone can learn it. And they have! I’ve taught at world-class companies like NASA and Harvard Business School, published a best-selling book with Simon & Schuster, and appeared as a guest expert on Good Morning America and for the New York Times, among others.
I have my Master’s Certificate in Financial Psychology & Behavioral Finance and was the host of John Hancock’s inaugural podcast, Friends Who Talk About Money.
I bootstrapped a seven-figure business with a 100k-member global community, produced six conferences for 1,000 attendees, and collaborated with brands such as Nike, Secret, and Indeed.
Prior to doing this work, I was the second employee at a recruitment startup - later sold to Fiverr - and produced a short film in Bosnia that got nominated for a Student Academy Award.
A few fun facts: I’m neurodivergent (I was diagnosed with bipolar type II), a proud lesbian (I married my co-founder!), and was sued by a group of men’s rights activists (and then crowdfunded $116k+ and got a book deal out of it.)
I pride myself on leveraging “setbacks” for growth, or as I say, making money out of lemons 🍋
In short: I’m an expert in taking big swings and navigating change, plus negotiating for my worth in all areas of my life. Everyone deserves to love what they do - and the paycheck that comes with it - and I’m here to show you how.
Think of me as a personal cheerleader & strategist on your path to prosperity. (Or as Robin Roberts of Good Morning America said, “the career coaching getting ladies paid!”)
Here are some ways we can work together 👇
Hire me to speak 🎤
“Claire is relatable, easy to talk to and brings a lot of well-thought out perspective to the table. Engagement from our attendees was off the charts and super positive - more than one person said that they wished we could have talked another hour! ”
I can speak on a range of topics and have taught at the world’s best companies and conferences. I’m consistently rated a top speaker by attendee feedback and am proud that I’ve been asked to return by multiple organizations, multiple times! I’m available for both in-person and virtual, as well as year-long programs, like the one I did for PayPal (I led workshops at their offices across the country), or Secret Deodorant (I created a toolkit for a brand campaign.)
“You have a way of guiding people toward shifting perspectives and addressing challenges in a manner that totally engages, and your advice is clear, meaty, and actionable. I trust you, and feel I can speak openly about my failings and fears, along with my successes and hopes. ”
Work with me 1:1 💬
Every year, I select a few women to work with 1:1 to get them the big life - and paycheck - they deserve. This is a six-month commitment that will help you reach your goals, and change your life. Guaranteed.
Get my book 📚
I’m honored to have teamed up with Simon & Schuster to write a guide on how women can get recognized and rewarded at work. It follows the lives of real women who each face different professional challenges, from being a perfectionist to navigating office politics to negotiating their salaries. Woven throughout is actionable advice and tangible tools to equip and empower the reader to level up at work and bring other women with them.
“A manual for women to help them navigate the professional challenges that inevitably come up…From negotiating to self advocating–this book is for any woman who is ready to rise in her career.”
