1
Negotiation Basics for First-Time Negotiators
For students and early-career professionals preparing to negotiate for the first time. We cover how to reframe negotiation as collaborative problem-solving, research salary ranges, prepare scripts and strategies, and practice through role play with real-time feedback in a safe, supportive environment.
Ideal for: career fairs, senior capstone programs, career centers, first-generation student/employee programs.
2
Job Offer and Salary Negotiation Mastery
For students and professionals who have an offer on the table - or expect to have one soon. Because the moment the offer arrives is not the moment to start learning. We cover total compensation, how to evaluate an offer against market data, your opening strategy, and how to manage pushback in real time.
Ideal for: graduating seniors, MBA programs, professional develop series, early-career job-changers.

Negotiate with Confidence: For Mid & Late-Career Professionals
You've been in your field for years. You know your worth. But sometimes the conversation about salary, title, or workload never quite happens - or when it does, it just doesn't go the way you planned. This workshop is for experienced professionals ready to finally have THAT conversation... whether asking for a raise, pushing back on an unfair workload, or navigating a difficult conversation with a current boss.
Ideal for: staff professional development, faculty workshops, corporate HR and leadership programs, women's leadership initiatives.

Negotiating Your Future: Values-Based Career Planning
For participants who want to think beyond salary to the full picture of a meaningful career. We cover how to align negotiations with your core values, build long-term economic security through strategic career moves, and negotiate not just salary but professional growth, flexibility, and workplace culture.
Ideal for: career development programs, graduate students, mid-career professionals in transition, HR offices supporting employee professional development.
Why Dr. Kim Miller?
Dr. Miller's approach is different from typical negotiation training. She grounds every workshop in a social justice framework, because pay inequity is not just a personal problem, it's a structural one. Participants don't just learn tactics. They understand the systems they're navigating, which makes them more effective and more resilient advocates for themselves and for others.
