Hi!
I’m Wies Bratby.
Hi! I’m Wies Bratby.
I am a negotiation coach, former top lawyer and HR Director at a billion-dollar company, and I am an unapologetic advocate for women getting what they want and what they are worth.
In my previous corporate roles, I often saw amazing women work twice as hard as their male counterparts, only to be “rewarded” with half the accolades, and a (much) lower salary to boot. They accepted this because they didn’t have the courage or didn’t know how to pro-actively navigate and negotiate their careers.
To unleash their potential, I have developed a communication framework based on my experience in HR and as a lawyer. “The WIN Way” – my coaching program – helps corporate women create a crystal-clear vision for their career, and then to actually get their dream role and salary. This framework has helped women all around the world change their mindsets and increase their self-belief, and given them practical, effective tools and techniques, so they can navigate and negotiate their careers powerfully.
Great negotiation isn’t magic
– it’s a skill set that anyone can learn and it will change your life!
My Story
I’m Wies Bratby, and it’s literally my life’s work to empower women – just like you – in their careers so that they can fall (back) in love with their ambitions, their work and their life.
I want every awesome woman out there (I’m still talking about you!) to be able to share their magic with the world – and get recognised and rewarded properly for it, too.
Whether you are already clear on what that dream position and salary is for you, or whether you still need to crystalise it, big career goals are best achieved through kick-ass negotiation skills. And let me tell you… I am obsessed with the art and science of negotiation. Seriously, I live for this stuff.
I first learnt this essential life skill whilst studying at Law School, and I’ve used and applied it every day since then as a lawyer at the top firm in my native Netherlands, and as a Global HR Director working for an international, billion-dollar organisation.
In that last role, I spent years travelling around the globe, running workshops in HR, and discovering how absolutely vital it was for women to know powerful career navigation and negotiation techniques, – and to be able to execute these effectively.
Before anyone says it, the results have nothing to do with culture, status or personality. As women, we ALL struggle at some point with finding and presenting the confidence to negotiate for ourselves. After all: no one teaches you this at school or university. Heck, even MBAs don’t teach you how to negotiate for yourself.
You can work your ass off all day, but if you don’t ask for what you want – and show that you deserve it – you will never reach your true, mind-blowing potential, or the rewards that go with it.
This is exactly why I created The WIN Way – my coaching program, and the WIN sisterhood.
Through this coaching program, I help women all over the world to create what I like to call their ‘unicorn’ position, and do work that makes them feel motivated and valued. I want them to start each day energised and excited about the day ahead, and leave their office every day feeling fulfilled, content, and ready to embrace their dream lifestyle (with the earnings they deserve).
Sound like a fairy-tale?
Okay, that’s fair enough from the outside…
And that’s why I want you to come on inside. Come join the WIN sisterhood! My group of big-dreaming, ass-kicking women have proven it can be done, and their inspiration and accountability will help you achieve your career goals, too.
You have only one life – go get what you deserve from it!
