Prepare Your Next High-Stakes Conversation Before You Walk Into the Room
Negotiation by Design™ Strategic Lab
For Women Leaders Ready to Lead High-Stakes ConversationsWith Authority, Precision, and a Clear Negotiation Blueprint
A live strategic workshop where women leaders design the strategy for an important negotiation before it happens.
Negotiation is not about what you ask for.
It’s about who you are when you ask.
But the most powerful negotiations rarely happen by improvisation.
If you know there’s an important conversation ahead — around compensation, scope, influence, or leadership — this Strategic Lab will help you walk into that room prepared.
Bring a real negotiation you’re navigating, and begin designing the strategy for that conversation during the session.
Live Virtual Strategic Lab | Limited Seats | $150 Investment
Most high-achieving women are negotiating every day.
Compensation.
Scope.
Boundaries.
Partnership dynamics.
Leadership influence.
And often there is one conversation in particular you know you need to have. But haven’t fully designed yet.
Even the most capable women often find themselves:
Over-explaining instead of owning
Agreeing too quickly to avoid tension
Downplaying their desire to maintain harmony
Feeling powerful in strategy — but unsettled afterward
Because negotiation is never just tactical.
It is relational.
It is psychological.
And it is deeply tied to identity.
When negotiation triggers fear, conditioning takes over.
When alignment leads, leadership expands.
What This Strategic Lab Is
The Negotiation by Design™ Strategic Lab is a focused, small-group experience where you will design the strategy for an important conversation you know you need to have.
Rather than hoping the right words come to you in the moment, we design the negotiation before it happens.
Participants are encouraged to bring a real negotiation or leadership conversation they are currently preparing for, so they can apply the framework directly during the session.
This is not a webinar.
It is not generic negotiation training.
And it is not a sales presentation.
It is a high-touch, live, facilitated strategic session where we explore:
• The structure of a clear, well-designed negotiation
• How to clarify your true objective before the conversation begins
• How to frame your value and your ask with confidence
• How to lead the conversation in a way that sets the tone for collaboration
• How to stay grounded and respond effectively when resistance or pushback appears
There will be teaching. Reflection. Connection. Masterminding.
And there will be space to begin mapping the strategy for your own upcoming conversation.
Because powerful negotiations rarely happen by accident.
They happen by design.
What You'll Leave With:
By the end of the Strategic Lab, you will walk away with greater clarity around:
The specific conversation you want to lead
The value you want recognized in that conversation
Your clear ask or negotiation objective
A strategic opening and roadmap to lead the conversation
Greater confidence walking into the room and handling pushback
So you’re not hoping you’ll say the right thing.
You’re walking in prepared.
Conversations This Strategic Lab
Can Help You Prepare For
Participants often bring conversations such as:
• Preparing for a compensation or promotion discussion
• Negotiating scope, authority, or leadership responsibilities
• Addressing misalignment in a professional partnership
• Navigating influence or decision-making dynamics with senior leadership
• Setting clearer boundaries around expectations or workload
If there’s a conversation you know matters ... and you want to approach it thoughtfully ...
This Strategic Lab will help you begin designing that approach.
Because powerful conversations rarely happen by accident.
They happen by design.
Who This is For.
This Strategic Lab is for you if you have an important conversation approaching, and you want to enter it prepared, aligned, and fully resourced as a leader.
You may recognize yourself in some of these patterns:
• You are a high-level professional, founder, or leader
• You want to advocate for your value without disrupting relationships
• You recognize moments where you over-explain or self-edit
• You value thoughtful strategy over reactive conversations
• You prefer intentional rooms over crowded webinars
This is not entry-level work.
It is for women who are ready to lead differently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring a specific negotiation to the session?
Participants are encouraged to bring a real conversation they are preparing for so they can apply the framework directly during the session. If you don’t have a specific negotiation in mind, you’ll still be able to follow the process and apply it to future conversations.
Is this designed for beginners or experienced professionals?
This Strategic Lab is designed for experienced professionals and leaders who regularly navigate high-stakes conversations and want a more thoughtful and strategic approach to negotiation.
Will a replay be available?
Yes. All registered participants will receive access to the replay after the session. Do plan to attend live to get the most benefit from this hands-on strategic session. Replays are a bonus to return to and deepen your learning and integration.
Will Human Design be part of this session?
This Strategic Lab focuses primarily on preparing and structuring an important conversation. Elements of the broader Negotiation by Design™ framework may be referenced, but the session itself is designed as a practical preparation experience.
Powerful conversations rarely happen by accident.
They happen by design.
Negotiation By Design™
This Strategic Lab draws from the broader Negotiation by Design™ methodology: a strategic framework that integrates negotiation thinking with deeper leadership awareness, and Human Design with executive-level negotiation strategy.
For some women, this Strategic Lab session will be integration.
For others, it will be the beginning of deeper work.
For many, it simply becomes the moment they start approaching important conversations more intentionally.
During the session, I’ll also share how women who want to continue developing their negotiation leadership can explore the broader Negotiation by Design™ work.
Either way, alignment in negotiation is where fear becomes leadership.
If you feel the pull, trust it.
