Most People Think About Negotiation Too Late

Most People Think About Negotiation Too Late

MOST people think negotiation starts with the offer.

The timing is actually the most critical piece — I've learned this from thousands of executive negotiations. If you're waiting for the offer, you've already given up significant leverage.

I recently spent 2 hours with Tolu Adebekun on the What Makes You Tick podcast having an honest conversation about:

  • How past struggles and trauma can shape leadership abilities and drive
  • The psychology of self-worth in executive negotiations
  • My journey from working graveyard shifts to advising executives
  • The real drivers behind career decisions (hint: it's rarely about money)

Yes, it's a longer conversation. That's intentional.

These aren't quick tips or hacks - we explore the deeper psychological aspects of executive success, confidence, and negotiation.

When you understand the timing and psychology of negotiation, seemingly small actions can have major impact.

Example: I recently worked with a client where a 2-minute strategic pushback led to a $440K increase in annual compensation.

If you're interested in the psychology behind executive negotiation and leadership, the full conversation is worth your time.
