Lectures, Panels & Seminars.
Keynotes, seminars, panels, and master classes that turn a lifetime of high‑stakes negotiation — in boardrooms, courtrooms, government, and card rooms — into strategy any audience can use.

A veteran lecturer, seminar leader, and workshop moderator, Wendeen Eolis designs programs that optimize deal‑making at any negotiating table. Drawing on her 12‑Point People Reading System and four core negotiating strategies, she teaches and entertains in equal measure — seamlessly linking the principles of championship poker to the art and science of negotiation, while reminding audiences never to fall in love with a power play beyond the felt.
