I Was Told I Had 10 Years to Live.
Then I Negotiated With My Own Brain.
Most courses teach tactics. This one trains the behavior that saved my life — and now prints money for leaders, founders, and closers who refuse to leave value on the table.
Harvard-trained. Air Force veteran. Former trial attorney. I walked out of a neurologist’s office with a progressive, untreatable diagnosis — and decided I wasn’t done. Because the first negotiation isn’t across the table. It’s the one happening inside your head right now.

90% of Negotiations Are Lost Before You Open Your Mouth
The toughest opponent you’ll ever face is the voice in your head saying “don’t ask for more.” I once walked away from a $180k partnership because my inner critic won. Cost me six figures and months of regret. This course starts by naming that enemy.
The Inner Critic
“Don’t ask for the raise — they’ll think you’re greedy.”
The Fear of “No”
One rejection feels like proof you’re not enough.
That’s where the Bold Negotiator Framework starts — and where your edge begins.

Anyone Ready to Grow
Negotiation is a life skill. Whether it’s a difficult conversation with a partner or a boundary at work, you’ll learn to handle it.
What You’ll Learn
Each module builds on the last, taking you from foundational awareness to real-world mastery.
The Negotiation Mindset
Understand why most people fail before they ever open their mouths. Rewire your relationship with pressure, conflict, and asking for what you want.
Behavioral Foundations
Learn the science of how your brain responds under stress — and how to train a different response. This is the core of the Bold Negotiator method.
Reading the Room
Develop the ability to read people, energy, and dynamics in real time. Know when to push, when to pause, and when to walk away.
Protecting Value
Master the frameworks for identifying what matters most and defending it without aggression. Learn to say no without burning bridges.
Composure Under Fire
Practice staying grounded when someone pushes back, plays hardball, or tries to knock you off balance. Build unshakable presence.
Leading the Conversation
Put it all together. Learn to lead high-stakes conversations from start to finish with clarity, confidence, and control.
The BRAVE Framework
Negotiation isn’t tactics. It’s who you become under pressure. Five dimensions. Rank yourself 1–5 on each — then train the gaps.
Bold
Ask for what you’re worth without apology.
Realistic
Eyes wide open on the facts.
Authentic
Drop the mask. People feel performance.
Vulnerable & Visionary
Share what’s at stake, then paint the win.
Empathetic & Ethical
Paraphrase first, then lead.
What Students Are Saying
“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.”
