I was home schooled until 13 years old.Always a quiet introvert.Overly sensitive to others' discomfort.I was scared to ask for things.Waited for others to offer.Waited and waited.After a horrible job experience...⚠️ Strangled by my own anxiety.⚠️ Desperate to impress my bosses.⚠️ "Stuck it out" until I got physically ill.I realized I needed to grow as a person.To ask for what I needed.To persuade with empathy.To negotiate without conflict.I dove deep into understanding people:▪︎ Neuroscience (got a masters in it)▪︎ Positive psychology (a certification)▪︎ Negotiation (books, courses, teaching).Then I realized lots of people had difficulties like me.And I became committed to helping people get paid what they're worth.An early client got a $35k raise, while cutting back to a 4-day workweek.I thought, "this is interesting."I wrote down everything we did.Conversations along the way.The mistakes along the way.I created a set of principles.Called it "Empathic Influence & Negotiation."Applied it to salary negotiations.Applied it to job interviews.Applied it to networking.And then I found Mindfulness.That added some next level juice.I created the "Mindful Sprint" process.And now I help talented introverts become Mindful Sprinters.This kind of personal growth creates:✓ Better job opportunities.✓ Higher compensations.✓ Stronger boundaries.Without creating:🚫 Confrontational situations.🚫 Resentful relationships.🚫 Suffocating stress.We navigate workplace complexities:▪︎ Being a team player, not a pushover.▪︎ Asking for a raise collaboratively.▪︎ Making your value fully visible.With me, you're not getting an extroverted former CEO.I won't insist that you have to "command the room."You ARE getting a partner to help you:▪︎ Shine a floodlight on your value.▪︎ Stay authentically introverted.▪︎ Meet you where you're at.Expect to be empowered:▪︎ Do things you've never done before.▪︎ Learn the science of negotiation.▪︎ Experience true mindfulness.DM me with Qs.Am I a real person or AI?The answer might surprise you!
