Employment Litigation Attorney

VP Emerita UN Women | Attorney Action Figure 🦸🏻‍♀️ | Arresting Author | Chief Negotiation Officer | Plucky Podcast Host | Irreverent Int'l Keynote | "What Box?" Bellwether

📚 World domination through literary seduction. Elegant. Defiant. Irresistibly true. Are you ready for what's next (October 13, 2025)? MY WRITING IS ORGANIC USING REAL INTELLIGENCE (AI wishes it could write like me)

I'm not bossy. I'm BOSS. A UN Women VP, provocatrice, attorney/law professor turned negotiation GOAT . . .

(Buckle up. This is ..."a lot")

🦸🏻‍♀️ I help women harness the power of everyday negotiation—from conning a toddler into eating peas to running the boardroom. I authored the Little Black Dress of negotiation books. Why?

Because negotiation isn’t just for business. It’s everybody’s business 🧐

(But you don’t need me to “empower” you. Nor do I sell a “masterclass” or certification from my own “institute”)

🌍 World Mediation Peace Activist. Benevolent & incurable explorer (dubbed “creative savant”—you know who you are). A bit wild at ❤️‍🔥, I struggle with purpose and disrupt with goodwill—through advocacy, teaching, writing, broadcasting, philanthropy, art & sports.

🗣️ Polyglot. Passionate about people & social progress. JEDI agent (not a Star Wars ref). I’ve practiced law in private, public & non-profit sectors; have taught internationally, including over two decades as faculty at two University of California law schools.

I get that people are messy multitudes—and how they actually behave in conflict & decision-making.
What makes me next-level? Decades of deep experience in negotiation, behavioral economics, game theory, plus dope training in:

✔️ Emotional micro-expressions
✔️ Lie detection
✔️ Neuroscience & decision analysis

Oh, and I know the #1 most stealth negotiation skill. 😎

(Kinda like x-ray vision. Hint: it’s NOT “speaking your truth.”)

WHAT I’M NOT:

❌ A sales/marketing bro who built my expertise off a “masterclass”
❌ A brand
❌ Your income stream
❌ After your 💰 or approval
❌ One to trademark words. Ahem™ 🙄 (you know the type)

Special needs parent & dog whisperer—chaos doesn’t faze me, and persistence is my default setting. CEO of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing dogs & sibling support for families with special needs kids.

🫶 Turn-ons: Cake, shoes, pour-over coffee, decent literature
🤢 Turn-offs: NIMBYism, vapid buzzwords, elitism, posers

💡 Meyers-Briggs type? ENFJ-A (same 2% club as Obama & Oprah).

🕸️See more on pactumfactum.com, but TLDR: 
I’m 95% human Labrador (begs the question: what’s the other 5%?). Find it endearing or annoying. That's on you. Either way, I’ll be me because, as Oscar Wilde said, “Everyone else is taken.”

P.S.
❌ I don’t do casual Zoom coffee chats
✅ I’ve already overpaid it forward

Sales for High-Ticket Consultants & Agency Owners • Master the Art of Closing & Boost Your Revenue • 50,000+ Sales Calls Experience

I work with IT Consultants who are tired of “almost” clients into, ''YES'' clients 

Before working with me, my clients would do more calls, send out proposals ,send out more emails,  but nothing seemed to work. 

-Prospects ghosted them,

-Prospects disappeared after receiving their proposals

-Prospects would say you're to expensive, or, I need to think about it, or I need to talk to someone

They watched videos, read books on sales and yet, still noting worked.

Their self confidence and self worth smashed....

If you're ready to turn things around; 
I'll build it with you 👷‍♂️ 
No more BS excuses
No more wasted effort 

Curious to know more?

 Scroll down to my Featured Section
or Scroll further to my Recommendations

These are Consultants, & Solopreneurs who

- Started where you are
- Are active on this platform
- Are on their way to true independence
-Learned life changing skills

I know the how to get you there

You just have to believe that you're worth the effort...

Do you have the Gusto!?

Stephane Seguin

IT Consultants don’t struggle with sales because they lack technical skills.
They struggle because they don’t trust how they’re showing up.

I recorded this conversation with my Danny Delveccio a while back, but it’s still relevant because the real issue hasn’t changed.

At a certain level, selling stops being about scripts, hacks, or clever questions.
 It becomes about:

 – Presence
 – Clarity
 – Leading the conversation without force

This clip isn’t for everyone....


But if you ever felt like:
 – You know what to say, but it doesn’t land
 – You’re experienced, yet calls still feel heavier than they should
 – You don’t want to sound salesy, but you do want to lead


Then this will resonate....
