Testimonials
What are leaders saying about Victoria & High Stakes Negotiations?
“We really needed to transform one of our customer relationships from an economic standpoint, but we wanted to preserve the quality of the relationship we had developed. With the negotiations class we were able to not only drastically improve our margins with that customer, but walk away with a stronger relationship.”

Wes Garner
- CEO of GLC Minerals
“I found the High Stakes Negotiation framework so practical. Now, I wasn't an expert in the framework, but the course allowed me to really break it down and help my clients actually negotiate better deals. I could leverage it so easily.”

Shannon Susko
- CEO Coach/Advisor, Metronome United
“In just 12 hours of coaching, Dr. Medvec saved me several millions of dollars. When I sold my company, she helped me get about $30 million more than I otherwise would have.”
