Handle Conflict. Build Confidence. Negotiate Better.
Join us for a dynamic 2-hour workshop that will help you navigate everyday negotiations with clarity, calm, and a fresh perspective on conflict.
Whether you’re asking for a deadline extension, managing a tough client conversation, or trying to align competing priorities—negotiation is everywhere. Based on his TEDx talk, “What If Conflict Wasn’t Your Enemy?”, negotiation coach Dr. Sam Bayer introduces the Negotiating AGENT framework: a simple, practical approach to resolving conflict without sacrificing relationships.
In this upgraded session, we’re adding two exciting and practical tools to support your growth:
✔ Half of the workshop will be spent actively working through real-life conflict scenarios that participants bring with them—so come with a situation you want help navigating.
✔ All attendees will receive free access to a custom ChatGPT-powered AGENT chatbot designed to coach you through negotiations. We’ll also walk you through how to use it to prepare for your next tough conversation. You’ll learn how to:
Stay grounded when conflict heats up
Distinguish what people want from what they truly need
Help others win—without giving up what matters to you
Craft agreements that actually stick
Through real stories, guided exercises, hands-on practice, and now AI-powered coaching, you’ll walk away with practical tools you can use immediately—whether you’re a freelancer, founder, creative, or consultant. Come ready to shift how you think about negotiation—and maybe even conflict itself.
We’re bringing back our monthly networking lunch — Wright Village style. Lunch & Link is where real connections happen — no pressure, no pitches, just genuine conversations that feed your business and your soul.
This month’s theme: Gratitude & Growth.
As we close out the year, let’s celebrate how far we’ve come, share what we’re thankful for, and link up with other entrepreneurs and creatives who are growing, evolving, and giving back.
Take a midweek pause that nourishes both your body and your business. Whether you bring your own lunch, pre-purchase from our featured caterer, or just come ready to connect — this experience is all about community, collaboration, and leaving full — full of food, full of ideas, and full of inspiration.
No agenda. No structure. Just a good lunch with good people.
