   I\'ve found that few negotiations are more important or emotionally charged as those related to your own compensation. A few well-chosen words can substantially impact annual salary, bonus, stock, benefits, and your future compensation trajectory. I know, because I\'ve sat on both sides of the table.After a career as an executive HR leader for some of the largest companies in the country, I have seen firsthand that most senior-leadership candidates leave money on the table because they either don\'t know the market, don\'t know how to ask, or don\'t know how to negotiate for themselves. Today, I help senior executives maximize their compensation through a process designed to arm them with the tools they\'ll need to be more confident, more proactive, and ultimately more effective in compensation negotiations. My process includes:• Proactively preparing for compensation conversations with recruiters and hiring managers. • Identifying your full market value leveraging proprietary market data, where relevant. • Evaluating different forms of compensation (including stock) and calculating how they impact your total rewards. • Developing a counteroffer strategy that preserves your relationship with your new employer while maximizing your compensation. • Negotiating a severance package going into a new role or when leaving an executive position. When should you call me?Before you\'ve even begun your job search or interview process, I can help you avoid unknowingly capping your pay if I\'m engaged early in the process. I prepare you for initial and subsequent compensation discussions with recruiters and hiring managers. However, if you have already started the process, I can help you negotiate counteroffers while maintaining a positive relationship with your hiring managers. Corporate Compensation ConsultingI also work with boards of directors, business owners, and CEOs to design results-driven compensation plans that attract and retain top talent.
