COMMERCIAL NEGOTIATION ADVISOR TO FOUNDERS & CEOS | AUTHOR
Get the deals that shape your business right.
Every external negotiation is won or lost internally first.
THE WORK
I work with founders and CEOs on the negotiations that shape their business and their leadership. Some happen at the table, with a supplier, a partner, your board or your investors. Others happen inside you, in what you’ll ask for, what you’ll tolerate and who you’re becoming as the business grows.
Most leaders come to me about the first kind. The work usually goes to the second, because that’s where the outcome gets decided. I bring the commercial rigour of seventeen years as a finance executive in global businesses and more than five years in commercial negotiation, along with the depth to look honestly at what’s underneath.
Better deals
Know what the deal is worth to you, ask for it with confidence and protect your margin.
Clearer decisions
See what’s really driving your choices, including the agreements you’ve made with yourself that have been running things without you noticing.
Leading as yourself
Lead your business from who you are now, without performing a version of you that no longer fits.
Who I Work With
I work with founders and CEOs who own the result. Some own the business. Others lead one on behalf of investors, or run a division with its own budget. What they share is that the decision is theirs, and so are the consequences.
They’re usually facing something that matters. A deal that will shape the next few years, a partner or board relationship under strain, or growth that’s asking more of them than it used to.
They care about their people and they want to win, and they’ve never accepted that they have to choose between the two. They’re capable and ambitious, and they’re willing to look honestly at themselves, because they’ve learned that how they show up changes the outcome.
If that sounds like you, we’ll work well together.
Negotiation starts from the inside out
My Philosophy
The most powerful negotiation is the one you have with yourself.
Every leader carries agreements they’ve made with themselves along the way, about what they’re worth, what they’ll put up with to keep the peace and how much they need to carry so no one else has to. Most were made for good reasons, often a long time ago, and they still shape how a negotiation goes long before anyone sits down.
I’ve seen this in leader after leader, and in my own life too. Strategy and skill matter, and I bring both. What changes the result is a leader seeing those agreements clearly and deciding which ones still serve them. That’s the part of the work most people skip, and it’s where I spend most of my time.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
What I Offer
A Single Conversation
For a decision or deal in front of you right now. One focused session to see it clearly and decide your next move.
Deal Advisory
For one negotiation that matters. We work through it together, from preparation to the point where you sign.
Ongoing Advisory
For leaders who want a thinking partner across the year. Regular sessions, with voice or written access in between, for the negotiations and decisions that keep coming.
Every engagement starts with a 30-minute call. It’s a chance for us both to see whether I can help, and if I can, I’ll recommend the right way to work together.
In Their Words
The impact of inner and outer negotiation, shared by the leaders and teams I’ve worked with.
Glin has shown to have a deep knowledge of her subject matter expertise being negotiation and was able to pin point and coach across all areas of it. There are many consultants around but Glin stands out as by far one of the best if not the best that I've worked with and I would have no hesitation in working with her again in the future or recommending her to any other organisation looking for Glin's expertise. Im confident she would add tremendous value to their business and teams.
Glin is one of the most brilliant and professional educators that I've the lucky privilege to be trained by. To me, it was attending a great immersive stage performance whilst learning and practicing a technical and emotive skill set that is difficult to master. It's like being a marine biology undergrad and watching David Attenborough's The Blue Planet for the first time, but you'd have to pay keen attention and absorb as much as you can as there are multiple quizzes after each episode.
Glin’s ability to simplify the complex and provide the tools and models that are relevant to the issue/situation or for the desired outcome led myself and our team through a number of transformative sessions that crystalised strategy and approach. Glin does this by delivering a great mix of real-world experience and process driven learning. With her winning personality and boundless energy, she is very engaging. Time well spent with great results!
Glin delivered one of the best training courses I've experienced in my 30+ year working career The 4-day Advanced Negotiation course was a real test of both mental and physical endurance. Glin is exceptionally professional yet humble and open. Skilful and effective negotiation is science and Glin has mastered it. If you truly want to learn about yourself and improve your negotiation skills, give Glin a call. It may as well be one of the best investments in your professional and personal life. I surely know it.
I am so fortunate to have had an opportunity to be a part of a negotiation program facilitated by Glin, and what an amazing experience it was! Content is one thing, but the wrapping of Glin’s personality, delivery, experience, enthusiasm & interaction is what stood out for me. Usually you walk away from intense programs thinking about all the things you need to do, but Glin’s delivery was different. I walked away clear headed, focused & reinvigorated.
