Developed in collaboration with Sandrine Bardot, Transformational Performance & Reward Architect.

‍

What's inside

• Master three critical compensation conversation types – annual reviews, promotions, and difficult moments – with proven frameworks that separate emotion from logic
• Learn how to ground pay decisions in market data and performance metrics so employees understand the reasoning, not just the outcome
• Understand the psychology behind why compensation discussions often go wrong and how to address the real issues (recognition, growth, fairness) beneath the surface
• Access practical preparation checklists, common mistakes to avoid, and real-world scenarios that show what works and what derails these conversations
