    • Careers

What does it actually mean to know your worth at work? This week, we asked the queen of confidence (and of morning TV), Gayle King, how she found hers. She told us her self worth came from years of salary negotiations, building strong support systems, navigating setbacks, and dealing with tough bosses. 

In this episode, Gayle shares: 

Her mindset going into negotiations

How she gained a sense of self worth as a junior reporter

Why tough moments and failure can add to self worth 

How she leans on her support system 

Why celebrating other people’s success adds to your self worth (hi, Oprah) 

How she dealt with being underestimated
