You've done the work and the numbers hold. But the conversation still feels like a lottery.
You can prepare the deck and rehearse the answers. What you can't rehearse is the moment one question shifts the energy in the room, and you feel it move away from you.
The ENGAGE Method® programme teaches you why that happens, and how to hold the room when it does.
But for some conversations, you want someone in your corner who has sat on both sides of the table.
Find Out MoreI’m Solvej Biddle.
For three decades I've worked at the highest-stakes end of business — first as a commercial lawyer negotiating multimillion-pound deals, then walking into BBC's Dragons' Den with a consumer product, triggering multiple offers and a bidding war from four of the five Dragons, and securing a joint investment deal. I scaled that business across 21 countries and five continents with partners including British Airways, Amazon UK and USA, and Tesco.
These days, I sit on both sides of the investment table as an angel investor, board advisor, and UK Ambassador for Tech Nordic Advocates.
I work with a small number of founders and CEOs one-to-one, in the moments that decide their trajectory.
Two ways to work together.
Both point three decades of experience straight at the room in front of you. The right one depends on what you're facing: a single conversation to get right, or a more complex situation to work through in full.
1 Hour Coaching with Solvej
For the single conversation you cannot afford to get wrong. In a focused hour, we take the specific room in front of you, work out what the people across the table are really deciding, and get you clear on how to make your case land. You leave ready for that meeting, and composed enough to hold it.

1:1 Coaching with Solvej (4 x 1 Hour)
For the situations too layered for a single hour: a complex negotiation, a board to bring with you, a raise with competing interests in play. Across four hours we map every stakeholder and what moves them, then build the strategy in full, from each conversation ahead to how you hold your ground in the room. You leave with the whole plan, not just the next step.
