Kim & Rosie
are brand strategists and facilitators, who've spent years navigating the delicate dance of deal-making for six figure contracts. We've turned our passion for finding win-wins into something we just can't keep to ourselves.
We view negotiation, new business, and freelancing not just as business skills—but as creative adventures.
SPEAK UP, CASH IN
"Speak Up, Cash In" is a dynamic workshop designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, and business owners who want to master the art of negotiation with confidence and strategy. Whether you're asking for a raise, closing a deal, or advocating for your business, this session will equip you with the skills to communicate your value and secure what you deserve.
What to Expect:
🧠 Small cohort. Big clarity.
Capped at 20 participants for real connection, live coaching, and hands-on practice.
⏱ 2 hours. Dense. Practical. Human.
Actionable strategies. Real examples. Zero fluff. (Plus a few delightful extras.)
Core Concepts We'll Cover:
+ Guiding Principles of Negotiation
Negotiation is everywhere. It happens in emails, Zoom calls, SOWs, and brainstorms. It’s not a one-time event—it’s a continuous dialogue. You’ll learn to recognize it when it starts, not just when it’s too late.
+ How Cognitive Biases Shape Outcomes
Your brain has shortcuts—and some of them short-circuit your best thinking. We’ll help you spot and sidestep biases like anchoring, framing, and loss aversion so you can play smarter, not smaller.
+ Tactics to Deploy
Think: silent pauses. Micro-agreements. Strategic reframes. The subtle, sharp moves that shift conversations in your favor. These tactics aren’t aggressive. They’re elegant. And they work.
+ Case Studies
From pricing creative engagements to redefining project scope, we’ll break down real-world negotiations—what worked, what didn’t, and how to apply it to your own world.
We hope you'll stay in touch

That said, we will give you thoughtfully designed takeaways you can use again and again (think cheatsheets and toolkits — instead of a PDF that sits unopened in your downloads folder).
