This interactive training session introduces the essential building blocks of negotiation success, from mindset and psychology through to structure and strategy.
Designed for those who negotiate as part of their role (even informally), the workshop demystifies what good negotiators actually do and explores the psychological dynamics that influence behaviour and outcomes.
Participants will learn key concepts like interests vs positions, negotiation triggers and ethical influencing strategies. They’ll walk away with simple templates to support future preparation and post-negotiation learning and gain confidence on how to approach a negotiation with purpose, structure, and self-awareness.
Professionals and leaders who engage in internal or external negotiations and want to build their core capability and confidence.
Foundational negotiation template pack, including planning sheet, influence checklist, and post-negotiation reflection guide.
Curiosity, a recent negotiation example (formal or informal) and a willingness to explore new approaches.
An experienced strategist, leadership adviser, and facilitator, Philip brings a unique blend of strategic insight, commercial acumen, and operational leadership experience. A former resources-sector executive and qualified lawyer, he offers decades of practical, global experience helping organisations cut through complexity, unlock performance, and deliver meaningful results.
Philip partners with leaders and teams to co-create strategy, build capability, and lead effectively through challenge and change. His facilitation style is dynamic, engaging, and purpose-driven, equally at home in boardrooms, leading team workshops, coaching one-on-one, or on stage at large-scale events.
With a deep understanding of cross-cultural leadership and stakeholder engagement – developed leading multi-disciplinary teams and negotiations across Australia, Asia, Europe, and the Americas – Philip is attuned to the practical realities of delivering results in diverse, fast-moving environments.
Whether preparing for a high-stakes negotiation or building broader team capability, he brings structure, clarity, and strategic focus to every engagement. He has led and advised on multimillion-dollar deals, complex transactions, and sensitive stakeholder dynamics, helping clients navigate complexity, prepare with purpose, and achieve outcomes that last.
Known for bringing people together around a shared goal, Philip creates safe, focused environments where ideas are sharpened, decisions are made, and momentum builds. He is frequently engaged to facilitate strategic offsites, lead executive and team development, support negotiation planning, and moderate conferences and events requiring experienced, high-impact facilitation.
Philip collaborates with organisations large and small, from ASX listed corporates (e.g. CIMIC, National Storage REIT), private-equity owned companies (e.g. Queensland Airports Ltd), technology agencies and startups (e.g. TheCodeCo), government-owned corporations (e.g. Stanwell), local governments (e.g. Brisbane City Council), and NFPs (e.g. CARE Australia), and is trusted to be a catalyst for positive change.
Our brains are wired to focus on threats. From an evolutionary perspective, negativity bias served us well — it kept our ancestors alive. But in today’s workplaces, this hardwiring often works against us. Left unchecked, it narrows thinking, amplifies risk-aversion, and stifles performance, collaboration, and innovation. Understanding Negativity Bias in the Workplace Negativity bias is […]
There’s a persistent myth that negotiation success is about quick thinking, clever tactics, or natural charisma. In reality, the negotiators who consistently achieve great outcomes share one quiet advantage: preparation. Preparation is the real battlefield where negotiations are won or lost. It is the difference between reacting under pressure and leading the process with clarity […]
