Total Value Maximization™ Wins for an Orthopedic Surgeon:


Using our approach, an orthopedic surgeon turned down a multi-million dollar partnership opportunity with his practice in favor of a salary of $800,000 because it meant call times reduced by 40 percent and a far stronger quality of life. The Total Value Maximization™ approach helped him clarify what mattered most to him.

A breast cancer surgeon lacked confidence in the negotiation process. She didn’t have a framework for how to advocate for herself. Prior to the Total Value Maximization™ process, she was ready to accept an offer for 15 percent less than the going market rate. After coaching her on what to ask for, she was able to increase her rate to align with her anticipated RVUs.
A corporate executive gave up a Fortune 75 position in order to join a VC-backed entity primed to go public. In doing so, the Total Value Maximization™ contract negotiation provided him with greater potential upside in equity gain while still maintaining comparable salary. Our approach ensured he could maintain his standard of living while providing the opportunity to realize his greater goal of early retirement and increasing the life side of his work/life balance.

Total Value Maximization™ framework, he figured out how to sell his ownership interest in order to start a new firm that better aligned with his family’s values and eliminated more than 100 nights per year of travel away from his family.
