Learn 'n Connect: Know Your Worth, Name Your Rate
Are You Charging Your Worth?
Join us for Learn n’ Connect, a virtual evening of community, learning, and networking hosted by the Orange County Queer Chamber of Commerce (OCQCC). We’ll kick off with quick check-ins and popcorn-style introductions, then settle in for an interactive session led by our featured speaker, Dr. Jaime Raygoza (he/him/él).
Workshop: Know Your Worth, Name Your Rate
If you have ever second-guessed your pricing, overexplained your rates, or said yes to a discount you immediately regretted, you are not alone. For many LGBTQ+ business owners, pricing is not just a numbers decision. It is tied to confidence, identity, boundaries, and the stories we carry about what we are allowed to ask for.
This month’s session will help you connect your lived experience and expertise to the value you deliver, so you can set prices you can stand behind and communicate them clearly to clients. We’ll break down the difference between worth, value, and price, and you’ll leave with practical language you can use right away, including scripts for naming your rate and responding to discount requests without spiraling.
You’ll walk away with:
- A simple framework to clarify your worth, value, and pricing
- A stronger pricing anchor and what it includes
- Scripts for saying your rate with confidence (and handling pushback)
- A next-step plan to raise your prices or hold the line without guilt
