Work with me
Whether you need personal coaching, a workshop that actually changes how your team shows up, or a custom retreat for your organization, it all comes from the same insight: the gap between knowing and doing is a practice problem, not a knowledge problem.
1-on-1 coaching and advisory
For executives, leaders, and professionals navigating high-stakes conversations: promotions, board negotiations, team conflicts, major deals, or significant career transitions.
We work together to identify the anxiety triggers that hijack your best thinking, build your personal anchor strategy, and rehearse the conversations that matter most to you.
Who this is for
Senior leaders, executives, coaches, and professionals who are capable and accomplished but hitting a ceiling because the soft skills are not keeping pace with the stakes.
Format
Personalized 1-on-1 sessions, ongoing or intensive. Advisory retainer available for leaders who want a trusted thinking partner on an ongoing basis.
"Dr. Walch's team has made a significant difference in our business. When it comes to negotiation techniques there are many books and courses that I have seen, but this fresh approach is unique in that it engages customers at a different level. The concept is easy to absorb, the structure clear, logical, and effective."
"As an owner, I used to enter vendor negotiations feeling like I had to shield my business from being exploited. Shifting to Dr. Walch's sociocentric orientation allowed me to approach contract renewals with vulnerability, which surprisingly unlocked vastly creative distribution terms we had not even thought to ask for."
Workshops, retreats and facilitation
I bring the work into immersive in-person experiences where participants do not just hear a framework. They practice it. Using applied improv, guided scenarios, storytelling, and real-time feedback, these sessions build the muscle memory that a keynote alone never could.
Workshops and retreats work particularly well for leadership teams, cross-functional groups, and organizations navigating change, conflict, or high-stakes external relationships.
Signature topics
The negotiation you are actually in
Most people do not realize they are negotiating until it is too late. This session reframes negotiation as the skill at the heart of every professional relationship and gives participants a clear model for showing up to any high-stakes moment with calm, clarity, and strategy.
Style shifting: decoding how people connect
How to read behavioral cues, adapt your communication approach, and get more traction with anyone, in meetings, negotiations, or everyday leadership.
Masters of energy: harness your full negotiation power
The invisible forces in any room. How to recognize them, work with them, and use social intelligence to shift the dynamic in your favor.
The influential leader: negotiating for maximum impact
For leaders who need to influence without authority, navigate organizational complexity, and get results through other people.
Power with: from friction to collaboration
A session built around applied improv and the core shift from power-over to power-with. Experiential, energetic, and designed for teams that are stuck in adversarial patterns.
Custom corporate programs
Multi-day workshops, facilitator-led training, and bespoke learning experiences for teams and organizations.
I co-deliver with a network of certified Quantum Negotiation facilitators and have partnered with institutions including EY, Frankfurt School of Finance, Ivey Business School, and Thunderbird School of Global Management.
