Old School Cool

Today you meet my friend Avery Hall, Sr. VP at Wells Fargo. He teaches us a little blocking and tackling on How to Get A Raise:
- Be ready for opportunity when it comes. Prepare now.
- Recognize that nothing in this life is free. You have to put in the work.
- Become proficient and consistent at the fundamentals
- If there’s a gap in your pay, there’s likely a gap in your preparation. Fill the Gap.
Avery Tells Us More About Putting In The Work

Raises: What Matters Most
MAY
Today you meet my longtime friend Gary Fly, Chief Marketing Officer at the Brooks Group. He dives right at the heart of How to Get A Raise:
- Create alignment with your team
- Create an understanding with your supervisor
- Become very proficient at your craft
- All while having a good attitude
and those four things - more than anything else - will earn you a raise. He says “You will start to rise up. Leaders recognize skill and desire.” WOW!
Gary also mentions his mantra of “It’s easier to ride a horse in the direction it’s going….” which means rather than guess at how to get a raise in YOUR company, uncover your company’s compensation philosophy first and THEN be very intentional about following their guidelines.
This episode is filled with gems, but one of my favorites is how NOT to ask for a raise during the Pandemic. Gary, whose son is an A-10 Pilot in...
