Keynotes & Speaking Engagements

Only 7% of people know the secret to great negotiation – but mastering it is simpler than many people think! No matter where they start, anyone can improve their negotiation skills and see quantum-leap results in their professional lives. In this innovative, interactive talk, we give audiences several powerful tools to achieve immediate, massive results in their negotiations. Straight from the pages of Alex Carter’s Wall Street Journal bestselling book, Ask For More: 10 Questions to Negotiate Anything, participants learn how to ask powerful questions and then “land the plane” for the greatest effect. The results? Better deals, fewer losses, and a lot more collaboration across the board.

Negotiation isn’t just about numbers—it’s also about messages. An essential part of that message is how we talk about ourselves, both within our companies and with clients. Participants in this workshop will learn how to drive huge growth and prevent unnecessary loss by communicating powerfully, how to develop the negotiation resilience to get past a “no” and persevere until it’s a “yes,” and how to advocate for themselves by asking the right questions. In this interactive talk, we offer tactics and strategies to help participants nail their communication skills and masterfully negotiate on behalf of themselves in any context.

Money is important—but it’s only half the story. In fact, nailing certain critical everyday negotiations—for access, for boundaries, for information, or for time—is often what moves the needle for professionals running a business, leading a team, or pursuing a new role. In this tactical interactive talk designed for your organization’s senior leaders, we teach the most powerful non-monetary “asks” in any negotiation. Participants will learn how to drive major results and prevent unnecessary loss by advocating for everything they need to succeed and thrive.

Command, clarity, and confidence in any situation—that’s the X-factor known as “executive presence” and every leader needs it. Executive presence exists both in the words we choose and how we speak them. In this constructive and illuminating workshop, we unpack the inequity inherent in the concept of executive presence, while also giving participants research-backed strategies for choosing the right language and speaking it with confidence. Attendees will emerge ready to fully embody executive presence—in any room.

Realize the full potential of your communication skills and transform your professional relationships. This dynamic keynote blends motivational insights with actionable strategies, empowering attendees to elevate their communication skills and make a lasting impact within their company and throughout their industry. The audience will leave inspired, equipped, and ready to drive success through the power of effective communication.

We have all experienced the anxiety leading up to a challenging conversation. Whether it is a negotiation for work or a conversation with a colleague, friend or spouse, there is a better way to approach these conversations, easing that uncertainty and anxiety. In this keynote, we provide the essential framework for preparing for these difficult moments, teaching you the right questions to ask yourself and the other person (and the right way to ask them!) to ensure that these conversations are successful every time.
