Leonie McKeon

Leonie McKeon teaches the 36 Strategies, the set of tactics drawn from Sun Tzu's The Art of War, and she has built a career on making them usable in an ordinary business day. Negotiation is one of the least taught skills in Western business, and most people avoid it or go into it anxious. That's the gap her work fills. Audiences come away with a framework for thinking strategically at the table, holding their own on price and terms while keeping the relationship intact afterwards. She's an author, keynote speaker, workshop presenter and business consultant based in Adelaide, working online and in person. Keynotes usually run thirty to forty minutes; the negotiation workshops come in half day and full day formats, tailored to the group, capped at twelve online or twenty in the room.
