You’re Tired of High-Stakes Conversations Where You Hold the Room - but Decisions Still Don’t Go Your Way
Influence for Outcomes that Matter is a 6-week online course with expert coaching that helps women leaders make decisions stick, negotiate clearly, and hold their agenda under pressure - without pleasing, pushing, or paying for it emotionally afterward.
You Are Not Struggling Because You Are Not Listened To - But Because You Can’t Overcome Resistance In The Moments That Decide Everything
You can handle pressure and deliver results.
But when the outcome depends on other people, your influence can start to wobble at the exact moment it needs to be rock-solid.
A power dynamic shifts mid-conversation, and your message gets smaller than you intended.
To avoid being seen as difficult, you soften your language, and the ask loses its edge.
The room stays comfortable because you carry the emotional weight, then take the fallout home.
To keep things moving, you compromise too early, then resent what you agreed to.
Later, you replay the conversation for days, because you know you held back when it counted.
This is the part nobody trained you for.
Staying clear, direct, and grounded when the room gets tense and resistance gets political.
You Don’t Need More Confidence - You Need a Way to Get Decisions to Move in Your Direction Without Paying for It Emotionally
You have been trying to win over the room through over-preparing, softening, and staying agreeable.
It should not take that much effort to be taken seriously.
Ask directly for compensation, scope, resources, and support without guilt or over-explaining.
Meet resistance with steadiness instead of emotional leakage and second-guessing.
Hold your agenda in high-stakes meetings without shrinking or forcing.
Stop performing competence and start operating from inner authority.
Set boundaries that land without managing everyone else’s comfort.
Create outcomes where results, relationships, and self-respect coexist without compromise.
The goal is not to “win” or come out on top of the decibel game.
The goal is influence that feels natural, grounded, and unmistakable.
This Is Not Another Negotiation Course - It Changes Who You Are When It Actually Matters
Most corporate training teaches frameworks and tactics.
You already know the theory. You can “tick the box” and still freeze when the real moment arrives.
This program works at the level that corporate training avoids.
Who do you become when the stakes are real?
What happens in your nervous system when faced with resistance?
How do you stay clear, direct, and relationally intelligent without self-silencing?
Influence That Doesn’t Disappear When Pressure Hits
This course develops influence from the inside out, across four integrated dimensions.
Be. Build presence, emotional awareness, and self-regulation for high-pressure conversations.
Clarity. Get clear on what matters, align with your values, and prepare emotionally and strategically.
Do. Communicate cleanly, make proposals, negotiate, and navigate resistance without over-accommodating.
Influence. Shape direction and outcomes without pleasing, pushing, or losing yourself.
You are not learning tactics to perform.
You are building a capacity that holds when pressure, power, and resistance are real.

This Is For Women Who Are Done Shrinking When Decisions Get Real
This is for you if:
You are a woman in leadership who carries real responsibility.
Conversations about pay, scope, authority, and direction are unavoidable.
Pressure still pulls you into softening, over-explaining, or holding back.
You value clarity, integrity, and long-term impact over performance and hustle.
You want authority that lands without force or self-betrayal.
This is NOT for you if:
You are looking for scripts, shortcuts, or surface-level tactics.
You believe negotiation is something you have already “mastered”.
Your role does not yet carry real consequence or responsibility.
You are unwilling to question the personal cost of how you succeed.
If You Leave This Unaddressed - The Cost Keeps Compounding
Doing nothing does not hold things steady.
It reinforces the same pattern, with higher stakes each time.
Responsibility increases, while real influence lags behind.
Decisions get shaped around you, not with you.
Compensation, scope, and authority slip past without being claimed.
Frustration hardens into disengagement or burnout.
More effort produces less impact than it should.
You do not need to become harder or more aggressive.
You need clarity and steadiness, so your authority lands without a fight.
These Women Didn’t Just Gain Insight - They Changed The Outcome
“Finally - a negotiation training that blends presence, power, and strategy. Nothing else I’ve done comes close.”
- Michelle (Participant)
“I didn’t just accept the offer. I shaped it - and got exactly what I asked for. That’s what five weeks of this work made possible.”
- Participant
“It’s the first time I’ve learned negotiation in a way that blends presence, values, and strategy without losing power.”
- Participant
“I have a new level of confidence in the ask. It’s made the issue visible and removed any doubt about the validity of asking. It’s profound, and it will change how I operate going forward.”
- M. J. (Participant)
“I’m far more prepared for my new role discussion, clear on my opening statement and remuneration ask and wish list, instead of mumbling and stumbling.”
- L. M. (Participant)
“Finally, I get clarity emotionally, in a way I didn’t before. Every session confirms how important that is.”
- A. L. (Participant)
“That version of me that shows up so powerfully in interviews - I can bring her into negotiations too.”
- Participant
“I really wish I had known this earlier in my career. It’s like parts of the jigsaw made sense. Negotiations now take on a whole different meaning for me.”
- L. M. (Participant)
“I was able to stop myself in the moment when I was about to suppress what I wanted, get clarity on what that was, and set my boundaries, multiple times. And it worked every time.”
- Participant
The Assumptions That Undermine Your Influence
This course develops influence from the inside out, across four integrated dimensions.
Myth 1: “It’s too late to change how I negotiate.”
If you are an established leader, you have proof that you can learn hard things.
This is skill plus identity, trained through real situations, so change becomes reliable under pressure.
Myth 2: “I don’t have time.”
You do not need hours of homework to get results.
You need the right focus, the right practice, and weekly coaching applied to what is happening now.
Myth 3: “Everyone feels this way. It’s just normal.”
It is common, but it is not inevitable.
Carrying responsibility without full influence is not a personality trait.
It is a pattern, and patterns can be changed.
Myth 4: “I’ve already tried everything.”
You have tried tactics and theory.
This training instead prepares you for the moment where things usually fall apart - the internal pressure, the relational tension, and the fear of being seen as difficult.
This Work Was Built From The Cost Of Doing It The Other Way
I built this work because I know what it takes to succeed where influence is expected but rarely given. For years, I operated in male-dominated environments by adapting, hardening, and demonstrating competence.
From the outside, it worked. I advanced, earned well, and held roles that looked impressive. What I didn’t see was the cost. I learned to suppress emotion, absorb pressure, and separate who I was from how I led. For a long time, I believed that was simply the price of authority.
Eventually, that model stopped working. When my life changed, the way I led collapsed with it. The path forward began with negotiation, then deepened through clarity, presence, and emotional steadiness, supported by community with other women navigating the same pressures.
Influence for Outcomes that Matter exists to shorten that journey. To help women leaders build influence that is effective, grounded, and sustainable - without losing themselves to be taken seriously.

Your Next Step
You can stop shrinking to stay acceptable and start negotiating from clarity, strength, and self-respect.
OPTION 1: Stay with the pattern that keeps costing you.
Over-prepare. Soften your message. Manage the room. Leave with outcomes you can tolerate.
OPTION 2: Choose the path that changes what happens in the room.
