Course Description
Negotiations don’t have to be scary – they can actually be really fun. The key is to be prepared by having a good framework to break down the negotiation into interests.

In this session, presenter Shawn Tydlaska, CFP®, MBA, founder/CEO of Ballast Point Financial Planning, will teach you tips and tricks you can use to negotiate for a higher salary, a larger bonus, and even a higher title for yourself. You can also apply these strategies to your clients to help them negotiate a job offer as an additional service your firm can provide.

Tydlaska learned these skills while earning his MBA from the University of Michigan and through the real-life practice of helping dozens of clients navigate their careers. He will share an Excel file planning template as well as the strategies during the session.
