Course overview

Build your Playbook Blueprint and Receive Personal feedback in Real Time

Get a decision-maker-ready playbook and real-time feedback so your next proposal lands with confidence.


In this 2.5-hour live lab, you’ll run your real situation through the L.A.T.T.E. Framework to build your Influence Playbook a concise, data-driven plan that connects your idea to what decision-makers value most. You’ll map who holds the keys to approval, identify priorities across revenue, efficiency, cost, people, and alignment, and craft a ready-to-send proposal email you can use immediately after the session.


This is not theory. It’s a hands-on, guided working session where you write, test, and refine your message in real time. You’ll practice power phrases, pressure-check your framing, and leave with a complete playbook and a clear communication strategy for your next conversation with leadership.


What you get in 2.5 hours

A fully built Influence Playbook that ties your proposal to measurable business metrics.


A clear Decision-Maker Map showing where to focus and how to navigate approval.


A short, customizable script and ready-to-send proposal email for real-world use.

Live coaching, peer feedback, and templates you can reuse across future projects.


You’ll finish the lab knowing exactly how to speak in the language of results and how to get a faster yes.

        In 2019, I made an investment that completely changed the trajectory of my career. I worked with Jacqueline V. Twillie ...I wasn’t lacking skills or experience. Jacqueline didn’t just give me strategies; she held up a mirror. She challenged my self-perception in rooms where decisions were being made.

Jacqueline Twillie

I’m Jacqueline V. Twillie, founder of ZeroGap.co, best-selling author, and creator of the L.A.T.T.E. Negotiation Framework. Over the last decade, I’ve taught more than 10,000 professionals across Fortune 500 companies, high-growth startups, and global nonprofits how to negotiate with confidence and lead with influence.


My work is grounded in the reality that many high-performing professionals are expected to “be more strategic” without ever being shown a clear roadmap. I’ve been in those rooms sometimes as the only woman, sometimes as the youngest, and often as the one people underestimated, and I know exactly how to turn that pressure into leverage.
