Negotiate Anything

Being authentic at work sounds easy — until trust, power, and expectations are on the line. Because trust isn’t built by performance — it’s built by what you practice every day. In this episode, we unpack why self-authenticity isn’t about surface-level self-expression, but about the daily choices that build real trust and credibility at work. When pressure to conform is high, authenticity becomes a negotiation — between your values, your influence, and the room you’re in. We explore how performative behavior quietly erodes trust, how ego and fear shape professional decisions, and what it actually takes to show up consistently and authentically in difficult conversations. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how authenticity strengthens leadership, improves decision-making, and deepens trust over time.

Your influence strategy might be costing you the very opportunities you think you’re earning. In this masterclass edition of Negotiate Anything, we expose how staying silent, minimizing your value, or waiting to be “noticed” can quietly undermine your compensation, credibility, and career trajectory. This episode brings together elite leadership and HR perspectives to challenge one of the most dangerous negotiation habits: negotiating down on yourself before the conversation even begins. You’ll learn why high-performing professionals — especially senior leaders — often fail to articulate their true value, how fear distorts negotiation decisions, and why companies expect you to advocate for yourself. From adopting a “mercenary” mindset toward your career, to understanding the full scope of what’s negotiable beyond salary, this conversation reframes negotiation as an ongoing process — not a one-time event at the offer stage. You’ll also discover why personal visibility and pre-negotiation positioning are just as critical as what you say at the table. Whether you’re preparing for a promotion, evaluating an offer, or aiming for the boardroom, this episode equips you with the mindset shifts and practical strategies to normalize discomfort, claim your worth, and negotiate from a position of strength. Key takeaway: Negotiation isn’t confrontation — it’s a dance. And when you’re prepared, confident, and clear on your value, everyone walks away with a better trade.

You don’t lose negotiations because you lack leverage — you lose them because you’re using the wrong approach. In this masterclass episode of Negotiate Anything, we break down three simple, repeatable methods that dramatically improve your negotiating effectiveness at work, without aggression, manipulation, or burning trust. This conversation cuts through the noise to show how everyday workplace negotiations actually work — from salary conversations and promotions to project scope, timelines, and influence across teams. You’ll learn how to prepare with clarity, communicate value with confidence, and recognize the subtle signals that tell you when to push, pause, or pivot. Rather than relying on charisma or confrontation, this episode focuses on practical skills you can apply immediately: reframing requests, anchoring discussions around shared value, and navigating resistance without escalating tension. These methods are designed to help you sound more credible, feel more confident, and walk away with better outcomes — consistently. If you want to negotiate more effectively without changing who you are, this episode gives you the tools to do exactly that.
