I’m Jacqueline V. Twillie, founder of ZeroGap.co, best-selling author, and creator of the L.A.T.T.E. Negotiation Framework. Over the last decade, I’ve taught more than 10,000 professionals across Fortune 500 companies, high-growth startups, and global nonprofits how to negotiate with confidence and lead with influence.


My work is grounded in the reality that many high-performing professionals are expected to “be more strategic” without ever being shown a clear roadmap. I’ve been in those rooms sometimes as the only woman, sometimes as the youngest, and often as the one people underestimated, and I know exactly how to turn that pressure into leverage.
