Negotiation Playbook
A raise, a new offer, a promotion, a change of scope — negotiations are won in the preparation. This two-session package gets you ready. Ahead of our sessions you'll complete a short intake, so I arrive with context. In session one we'll map the situation: your leverage, your alternatives, the other side's interests, and your goals for the negotiation. Between sessions I'll pull the strategy into a written negotiation brief: your positioning, your numbers, and language for the tricky moments. In session two we rehearse: we run the conversation, refine your responses, and steady your nerve so you walk in composed. You'll leave positioned for leverage, with a plan you believe in and words ready for the moments that usually catch people out.
What's included
Here's how we'll work: • Ahead of our live sessions, share relevant context and materials — a CV, an offer, a job spec, or what's on your mind — so we spend our time on the work, not the setup. • Tell me your preferences around actions and accountability, so the structure supports you without becoming onerous. • Be honest about what's working and what isn't, so we avoid guesswork. • Everything we discuss is treated as confidential, both ways.
- A clear read of your leverage and alternatives
- A written negotiation brief: position, goals and language
- Rehearsed responses for the hard moments, and the composure that comes from practice

Navigate your career pivot | Negotiate wins | Oxford MBA | Ex-Deloitte
Hi there! I help people find clarity and move deliberately: in their careers, their communication, and the bigger transitions of life. Along my journey I've qualified as a Chartered Accountant at a Big 4 firm, earned an MBA with distinction from the University of Oxford, grew a consultancy from 9 to over 24 people, trained as a Systems Thinking Practitioner, and built my own practice in a new country. I've also come through my own hard chapters — burnout, loss, and the slow work of rebuilding around what truly matters — and I bring both that lived perspective and a strategist's structure to our work together. Expect professional rigour, a wide-angle view, and a space that's honest, grounded and guided by wisdom.
