Meet Our Expert Team
Experienced professionals who bring decades of real-world business negotiation expertise to your learning journey in Australia's dynamic commercial landscape
Leadership That Shapes Success
Our founding team combines academic excellence with hands-on experience from Australia's most challenging negotiation environments. They've walked the walk before teaching others to talk the talk.
What sets our instructors apart isn't just their credentials—it's their ability to translate complex negotiation theory into practical strategies that work in Melbourne boardrooms and Sydney trading floors alike.
Freya Sinclair
Director of Strategic Programs
Former corporate counsel with 15 years negotiating multi-million dollar acquisitions across Asia-Pacific. Freya brings real courtroom and boardroom experience to every lesson she designs.
Minerva Blackwood
Senior Learning Architect
Twenty years in international trade negotiations, specializing in complex supply chain agreements. She's negotiated deals spanning five continents and speaks four languages fluently.
How We Approach Learning
Our teaching methodology isn't academic theory—it's battle-tested wisdom from professionals who've closed deals worth hundreds of millions. Every case study comes from real negotiations, every technique has proven results.
Real-World Focus
Every lesson connects directly to situations you'll face in Australian business environments. We teach what actually works, not what sounds impressive in textbooks.
Practical Application
Our instructors have closed deals in mining, tech, finance, and retail sectors. They understand the unique challenges of negotiating in Australia's diverse economy.
Results-Driven
We measure success by how well our students perform in real negotiations, not test scores. Our approach prepares you for Monday morning meetings, not theoretical discussions.
Cordelia Ashworth
Head of Curriculum Development
"We don't just teach negotiation theory—we share the mistakes we've made, the victories we've earned, and the hard-won insights that only come from years of high-stakes conversations. Our students learn from our scars as much as our successes."
