Are you leaving money on the table? If you’ve ever walked away from a deal, salary discussion, or business negotiation feeling like you should have asked for more—but didn’t—you’re not alone.
Many women struggle with negotiation, whether it’s advocating for their salary, securing funding, or closing a high-stakes business deal. We are great at negotiating for everyone else but not so much for ourselves. But the truth is, negotiation is a learnable skill—one that can change the trajectory of your career and life.
🚀What’s Holding You Back in Negotiation?
- Do you hesitate to ask for what you’re really worth?
- Have you ever felt pressured to accept a deal that wasn’t in your best interest?
- Do you struggle with confidence and second guess your value in high-stakes discussions?
- Are you tired of seeing less-qualified colleagues or competitors get ahead because they negotiate better?
If you answered yes to any of these, then this course is for you.

What Others are Saying
Ellen Leikind has the ability to explain a complicated and emotional topic in a way that makes it easy to understand and even easier to execute. By using poker as a metaphor for negotiation and life, I developed clear pictures of what I needed to do; and was able to be clear on what I wanted, know that I was worth it, and not fear asking for it . Plus I really enjoyed it.
When you look at me now you see a confident woman. This was not always the case. I had the drive and desire to win but did not know how to get there. Understanding poker taught me perspective and stifled my doubts about “being good enough” to earn my seat at the table. Not only can I negotiate a win, I can negotiate the next ask. Skills expected of any expert trader. But what really made me successful in my career was my ability to recognize opportunities and take them before I felt qualified – advancing upward from roles in finance to trading and then to portfolio management – all under 15 years at Two Sigma Investments. If I waited until I felt qualified, I would have waited a very long time. Poker taught me to take opportunities when they presented themselves. Don’t wait for the ask, make the ask. Be bold.
I’ve attended Ellen’s workshops over ten times; Ellen is an engaging speaker and her content is clear, actionable, and immediately usable. Learning business skills through poker strategy has enormously impacted my life, especially in regards to building strong relationships through negotiation. The Bold System gave me the courage and confidence to do what I’ve really wanted to do: start my own business! I can’t thank you enough, Ellen!

About Ellen Leikind: Featured in Forbes, Success Magazine and CNBC
Hi , I’m Ellen Leikind. I love empowering professional women.
I got fed-up watching women struggle with being heard and properly compensated in corporate America, so I created the BOLD SYSTEM program to help people who feel overlooked and undercompensated get the money, recognition, and influence they want and deserve. And I happen to use the principles of Poker Strategy to teach them how to do it.
I know what it feels like. After negotiating for 20 years in corporate America and then as an entrepreneur, I know the challenges you face. Using Poker strategy helped me understand people, know when I was in a strong position, and get confident making people pay to play with me.
I learned to read people, assess risk and be the “bettor”- the one who raises their hand and ASKS.
Now, you can do it, too and you don’t need ANY poker experience.
