Denver, CO -- Elizabeth Suarez is an expert in leadership and negotiation. You might not immediately connect with what that (or her business name) means. Negotiation is not about sales, but rather asking for what one deserves—whether it is higher compensation, a different grade of position, or ?a seat at the big table.? The name Negotiation Unleashed is also connected to services for conflict resolution, motivational leadership, skills development, and other aspects of unifying and fortifying one's workforce. Elizabeth underwent additional training to make her ideal business happen. That Included an MBA from The Wharton School of Business and coursework at the Center for Creative Leadership. She has become a recognized influence in taking charge of one's professional trajectory, as well as a popular speaker, podcaster and the author of the book The Art of Getting Everything: How to Negotiate for What you Want and More. In addition to that analogy, Elizabeth says people looking to move ahead will often say something abstract like I want to work for Amazon, or I'm looking for a position with influence. She will walk them through exploration of their real wants, skills and strengths, and help facilitate the job seeking and negotiation process. Elizabeth identifies herself as a leadership strategist and welcomes inquiries related to all types of problem solving and crisis management, both at the individual and corporate levels. In a volatile and recessive climate like we have currently, her wise input is more crucial than ever.
