My Unique Approach

My expertize guaranteed.

As a one-person business, you always know who is delivering your training: Me. That means you can expect high-quality training and coaching, informed by the very latest know-how, ideas and techniques – all framed within my focus on quality, pragmatism and impact. It also means that you can expect to get the most value out of your investment.

Guiding you all the way.

The things that matter are never easy. You’re going to have to work at it. But, what I can promise is this: it will be an exciting discovery. It will be worth it. I will help you find your balance to feel entirely yourself – at ease and confident – when selling, buying, negotiating terms or solving disputes. To protect and support your short term and long term interests.

Dispelling the myths.

To quote George Bernard Shaw: “Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance”. My training reaches far beyond the typical shallow negotiation skills as trained these days. It dispels some of the common negotiation myths, such as 'negotiation is a soft skill', 'the ability to keep a poker face is the key' and 'win-win approach is the best'. I’ll help you learn the terrain well and choose a strategy that delivers.
