Bring a salary. Leave with a day rate, a project fee, and a retainer, written down.

Most people calculate their rate the wrong way. They take a salary, divide by 2,080 hours, and end up pricing their expertise at less than half of what it costs to replace their paycheck.

This two-hour workshop fixes that with real arithmetic. You’ll build your replacement number, the true cost of leaving a W-2 role once benefits, taxes, and business costs are counted. Then you’ll turn it into the three prices every independent path asks for: a day rate, a fee for a real project, and a monthly retainer. We’ll cover the three pricing mistakes senior-level people make the moment they go independent, and you’ll practice saying your numbers out loud with people who will push back kindly.

It’s built for director-level women and above who are planning a move into a consulting practice or a board seat, fractional or portfolio work, or a business they start or buy.
