For Owners Who Are Done Donating Profit
This challenge is designed for leaders who recognize that negotiation affects every part of their business. You’ll benefit most if you:
- ✓ Run a service-based or professional business
- ✓ Find yourself conceding faster than you want
- ✓ Avoid difficult conversations with clients, partners, or team members
- ✓ Feel pressure when pricing or expectations are challenged
- ✓ Know you could protect more value if you handled conversations differently
Most leaders don’t lack confidence. They lack awareness of where they’re negotiating.
In 10 days, you’ll recognize the negotiations hiding in plain sight, respond with composure instead of conceding, and protect your margins without damaging relationships.
That’s what the BOLD Challenge is built to do.
Where the 10 Days Fit in the BOLD Framework
The BOLD framework moves through four stages. This 10-day Challenge takes you through the first and most foundational: B — Become Your BOLD Self. The internal negotiation that has to happen before any external one matters. The other three stages live in the full BOLD Negotiator Course.
Become Your BOLD Self
Before any outside negotiation, there’s an internal one — with the fear of being wrong, the urge to keep the peace, the story you tell yourself about what’s possible. When presence changes, everything downstream changes too.
Open New Options
Most leaders negotiate between two options someone else put on the table. You’ll learn to surface obstacles early and generate options the other side hasn’t considered — the quiet source of leverage in almost every hard conversation.

Lead the Negotiation
This is where you stop reacting. You’ll learn to frame the conversation, set its pace, and guide it toward a decision — without pressure, theatrics, or damage to the relationship.
Full Course →
Deliver with Discipline
Clear asks. Clean structure. Follow-through that makes your next negotiation easier, not harder. The discipline that compounds across every negotiation you have after.
Full Course →
Before strategy, there’s behavior.
BRAVE defines your presence — the five behaviors of BOLD negotiators.
These aren’t tactics you memorize. They’re traits that rewire how you respond under pressure.
- Bold — make the ask you’ve been softening; name the thing no one else will.
- Realistic — see the situation and your leverage clearly, not optimistically or catastrophically.
- Authentic — drop the posture; leaders lose trust the moment the other side senses performance.
- Vulnerable & Visionary — admit what you don’t know, name what you want the outcome to be.
- Empathetic & Ethical — understand what’s driving the other side without being controlled by it.

Meet Philip Danielson
- Former Air Force Nuclear Missile Officer
- Harvard-trained Master Negotiator
- Former Trial Attorney & Business School Professor
- Entrepreneur
- Author of The Bold Negotiator
Phil learned composure under pressure long before the boardroom — as a U.S. Air Force nuclear missile officer, it was the job. That foundation carried him through Harvard’s master negotiation program, a career as a trial attorney, and years of building businesses.
Then at 44, a misdiagnosis nearly ended everything. Told he had a progressive, terminal neurological condition, Phil shut down his law firm, lost 150 employees, and faced a future he didn’t choose. Instead of surrendering, he rebuilt — channeling decades of negotiation experience and behavioral research into a new mission: teaching others the skills that transform how they lead under pressure.
The results speak for themselves. One company he trained doubled their margins from 30% to 60% in six weeks — raising prices while making clients happier. That’s not theory. That’s what happens when you learn to negotiate for real.
What Business Owners Say
“The BOLD Negotiator has changed how I view negotiations, and not just at work. I have already used the principles to resolve a difficult situation involving a major personal purchase. That resolution alone paid for the training. It truly is a game changer.”
“It’s a must for high level executives or anyone involved in negotiating contracts. It will increase the amount of money you will get out of the agreement. I’ve been leaving plenty of money on the table…not any more.”
“We were able to put together deals that I had never imagined before the training. It helped us to negotiate a reduction in our costs and at the same time, we increased our pricing models while making our clients happier with our product…the definition of a win-win-win.”
“Phil is an exceptional negotiator and mentor who has the ability to tune into your needs and add tremendous value in a short period of time. A master of his craft, Phil has a deep understanding of the psychology behind negotiation as well as negotiation techniques. He is an excellent communicator and active listener. Anyone would be lucky to work with Phil!”
