Claire Wasserman built Ladies Get Paid into a seven-figure business and 55,000-member community dedicated to closing the wage gap. Then she got sued by men's rights activists for "discriminating against men."
She could have folded. Instead, she turned the lawsuit into a $116,000 crowdfund and a book deal with Simon & Schuster.
That's Claire's superpower: transforming obstacles into opportunities — and teaching others to do the same.
Since then, she's navigated her son's two open-heart surgeries while running her business, come out at 30 and left her marriage, rebuilt her company after the pandemic, and earned a Master's Certificate in financial psychology to deepen her methodology.
Claire doesn't teach from theory. She teaches from experience — the messy, public, hard-won kind. That's why audiences don't just feel inspired. They feel seen. And they leave with tools they'll actually use.
You've read the books. You've saved the scripts. You've screenshot the advice. And yet — every time it matters, something takes over. You freeze. You shrink. You leave money, opportunities, and respect on the table. Again.
The problem isn't confidence. It isn't information. It's the invisible patterns running the show — patterns you inherited before you could even talk.
Claire has spent a decade studying why smart, accomplished women don't get what they want. She's coached thousands at NASA, the United Nations, Harvard Business School, and Fortune 500 companies. And she's lived it — turning a lawsuit into a book deal, navigating a medical crisis while scaling a business, and rebuilding her life from the ground up.

How to Transform Your Relationship With Work & Worth
Financial stress costs employers $4.7 billion weekly in lost productivity. But most financial wellness programs focus on budgeting — not the psychology underneath.
Claire addresses the root cause: inherited money beliefs, scarcity thinking, and what she calls "broke baggage." Drawing from her Master's Certificate in financial psychology, she delivers a framework for identifying money triggers, calming financial anxiety, and building goals aligned with actual values — not inherited shame.

How to Negotiate Where Everybody Wins
When employees don't know how to advocate for themselves, they don't just stay underpaid — they disengage or leave.
Claire's P.A.I.D. Method reframes negotiation as creative collaboration, not confrontation. She teaches employees to quantify their impact, make the business case for investment in themselves, and ask in a way that strengthens — not strains — the relationship.

How to Transform Obstacles Into Opportunities
Change is inevitable. Resilience isn't.
Claire shares her six-phase process for alchemizing adversity into advantage — drawn from turning a lawsuit into a book deal, navigating a medical crisis while scaling a business, and rebuilding after the pandemic decimated her company. This isn't toxic positivity. It's a practical framework for leading through disruption.
Best for: Leadership retreats, annual kickoffs, M&A transitions, companies navigating uncertainty
How to Rewire Your Brain for Self-Trust
Your highest performers are often your highest risk for burnout — because the same drive that makes them excellent also makes them relentless self-critics.
Claire shares her FFRR framework (Face, Feel, Release, Replace) drawn from neuroscience, somatic processing, and Internal Family Systems therapy. Attendees learn to regulate their nervous system, quiet the inner critic, and build self-trust through micro-actions — not willpower.
Best for: Wellness programs, women's ERGs, manager training, high-potential leadership cohorts, burnout prevention initiatives
