Practice the Conversations That Decide Your Career – Before They Happen for Real

You know you should negotiate your salary. You know your CV needs to change. You know you freeze when someone asks “tell me about yourself.” These workshops are where you practise all of it – under realistic pressure, with peer feedback, and with someone who has sat in the same chair you are sitting in now.

Dr. Aleena Baby

I sat in my first salary negotiation in Germany and had no idea what Tarifvertrag meant, what E13 translated to in industry, or that saying “I’m flexible” was the most expensive sentence I could utter. These workshops exist because I made every mistake first – so you do not have to.

“In the salary negotiation role-play, I panicked and accepted €50,000. The band went up to €75,000. One sentence Aleena taught me would have changed that. I use it in every negotiation now.”

How workshops work

Small groups

Maximum 6 to 12 participants per session. You are not an audience member. You are a participant with a name, a background, and specific challenges that get addressed.

Hands-on exercises

Every workshop includes exercises you complete during the session using your own PhD work. You leave with finished deliverables, not just notes.

Role-play scenarios

Practice under realistic pressure. Interview questions, salary negotiations, and recruiter conversations. The awkwardness happens here, not in your actual interview.

Peer feedback

Hear how your pitch lands from people in similar situations. Their feedback is often more impactful than coaching because it comes from someone who understands exactly where you are.
