Empowering Women to Earn What They’re Really Worth

The Women’s Earning Institute is dedicated to helping women earn what they are really worth and overcome underearning. The Institute focuses on understanding the emotional and psychological connections behind why women undersell themselves and providing women the tools to make more money and earn at their potential.

Founder Mikelann Valterra is a published author, dynamic speaker and nationally sought after expert on women’s earning issues. She is passionately devoted to helping women earn what they’re really worth. She is the author of Why Women Earn Less: How to Make What You’re Really Worth, and the workbook: How To Set and Raise Your Rates—a Woman’s Guide, as well as numerous audios on women’s earning issues. From KOMO News 4 to the Chicago Tribune, Mikelann is known as a champion of women earning more money.

For over a decade, Mikelann Valterra has empowered her audiences to overcome self-sabotaging beliefs about wealth, transform their relationship to money, and unlock their income potential. Countless women are locked in a cycle of “underearning,” where they consistently earn below their potential—despite their experience, education, or results they obtain for their employers/clients. These women are often frustrated and tired of not earning more. But the good news is that it is possible to make more money!

The Women’s Earning Institute strives to help women process their emotions, beliefs and attitudes about money and earning, learn tools and strategies to increase their earnings and improve their relationship to money and finance. The topics the Institute delves into are numerous. A few examples are: dealing with the “Good Girl Syndrome,” how to negotiate and ask for what you really want, risk taking and visibility in business, escaping “noble poverty,” how to set and raise your rates and much more.

The Women’s Earning Institute has many resources for women who want to look at their earning issues. On the Institute’s website, there are numerous articles, book reviews and web links. Sign up for the free monthly Earn Your Worth newsletter. For the self-employed, Mikelann writes a blog: My Self-Employed Life—earning my worth my own way. It is packed with powerful weekly tips to earn at your potential. And of course there are audios and workbooks, for women who want to take their learning even deeper.
