People are talking about it!

        I had thought I was maxed out in terms of compensation, but working with Dave showed me that I could get paid more, while creating even better relationships with my managers. I got a way higher raise than I could've imagined. This stuff really works!

        The framework is ridiculously organic. I used it the next week! I've also struggled with perfectionism, 'impostor syndrome', procrastination and shame cycles my whole professional life. Now I have such ease in my work.

        Working with Dave was life changing for me. The skills I learned from him around negotiation and communication have been extremely valuable and have translated into many other areas of life. Highly recommended!

Meet The Pay Raise Coach

The Pay Raise Coach

When smart, hardworking professionals are doing excellent work but not advancing properly, they come to me.


With the science of influence and negotiation, I help them get higher salaries with raises, promotions, and new jobs.


My clients have gotten pay raises up to 35k and higher salaries of 45k at new jobs (plus other things like equity, time off, benefits, etc.).


I do what I do because I'm a shy nerd. I've always wanted to be bold, but I can't stand stepping on anyone's toes.


So I've spent a decade analyzing the art and science of influence and negotiation. Two of those years earned me a MS in Neuroscience and Education, and another one got me a Certificate in Positive Psychology.


I'm on a mission to help those who want to be bold without conflict. Join me when you're ready.
