COMPENSATION NEGOTIATION FOR EXECUTIVES
My five-step process is designed to arm you with the tools you’ll need to be confident and take a more proactive, and ultimately, effective approach to compensation negotiations:
1. Analyzing the marketplace with respect to the role under consideration
2. Understanding the full value of your current — or most recent — package
3. Coaching, including role playing, on how best to approach discussions with the potential employer
4. Reviewing the value of an offer and, where appropriate, formulating an appropriate counter-offer
5. Reviewing the accepted offer and ensuring that there are adequate protections in-place through — and, in some instances, beyond — your employment, ie. by negotiating a severance package as part of the employment offer.
EXIT NEGOTIATIONS
I apply the similar disciplines and processes in helping clients negotiate maximum exit packages. As appropriate, this includes analysis of employment agreements, non-competes and related company policies.
COACHING
My coaching services for CEOs, founders, and senior executives are designed to help you be the most effective leader you can be. If you would like to improve your leadership skills and take your career to the next level, my services can help you:
Deal more effectively with conflict
Delegate to others in order to improve work/life balance
Build confidence as a leader
Develop and foster interpersonal connections with employees
Design the most effective organization
TOTAL REWARDS/COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLAN DESIGN
Successful compensation plans support and enable business goals, and proper design and execution will make the difference between success and failure of your business. I have worked with companies of all sizes — ranging from Fortune 500 Companies such as Verizon and LBrands, to small privately-owned companies — to design plans that drive success. I do this by:
Working with key leaders to understand the goals they want to accomplish
Determining the actions that need to be taken to achieve those goals
Defining the rewards that will create a win/win situation for the company and the employees
I focus on the importance of simplifying and then communicating the plans, so executives and employees understand what they need to do in order to achieve the outlined goals. When done properly, this will give you a competitive edge.
