Employment Litigation Attorney

VP Emerita UN Women | Attorney Action Figure 🦸🏻‍♀️ | Arresting Author | Chief Negotiation Officer | Plucky Podcast Host | Irreverent Int'l Keynote | "What Box?" Bellwether

📚 World domination through literary seduction. Elegant. Defiant. Irresistibly true. Are you ready for what's next (October 13, 2025)? MY WRITING IS ORGANIC USING REAL INTELLIGENCE (AI wishes it could write like me)

I'm not bossy. I'm BOSS. A UN Women VP, provocatrice, attorney/law professor turned negotiation GOAT . . .

(Buckle up. This is ..."a lot")

🦸🏻‍♀️ I help women harness the power of everyday negotiation—from conning a toddler into eating peas to running the boardroom. I authored the Little Black Dress of negotiation books. Why?

Because negotiation isn’t just for business. It’s everybody’s business 🧐

(But you don’t need me to “empower” you. Nor do I sell a “masterclass” or certification from my own “institute”)

🌍 World Mediation Peace Activist. Benevolent & incurable explorer (dubbed “creative savant”—you know who you are). A bit wild at ❤️‍🔥, I struggle with purpose and disrupt with goodwill—through advocacy, teaching, writing, broadcasting, philanthropy, art & sports.

🗣️ Polyglot. Passionate about people & social progress. JEDI agent (not a Star Wars ref). I’ve practiced law in private, public & non-profit sectors; have taught internationally, including over two decades as faculty at two University of California law schools.

I get that people are messy multitudes—and how they actually behave in conflict & decision-making.
What makes me next-level? Decades of deep experience in negotiation, behavioral economics, game theory, plus dope training in:

✔️ Emotional micro-expressions
✔️ Lie detection
✔️ Neuroscience & decision analysis

Oh, and I know the #1 most stealth negotiation skill. 😎

(Kinda like x-ray vision. Hint: it’s NOT “speaking your truth.”)

WHAT I’M NOT:

❌ A sales/marketing bro who built my expertise off a “masterclass”
❌ A brand
❌ Your income stream
❌ After your 💰 or approval
❌ One to trademark words. Ahem™ 🙄 (you know the type)

Special needs parent & dog whisperer—chaos doesn’t faze me, and persistence is my default setting. CEO of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing dogs & sibling support for families with special needs kids.

🫶 Turn-ons: Cake, shoes, pour-over coffee, decent literature
🤢 Turn-offs: NIMBYism, vapid buzzwords, elitism, posers

💡 Meyers-Briggs type? ENFJ-A (same 2% club as Obama & Oprah).

🕸️See more on pactumfactum.com, but TLDR: 
I’m 95% human Labrador (begs the question: what’s the other 5%?). Find it endearing or annoying. That's on you. Either way, I’ll be me because, as Oscar Wilde said, “Everyone else is taken.”

P.S.
❌ I don’t do casual Zoom coffee chats
✅ I’ve already overpaid it forward

⭐JOY JOB LESSON: DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB, FIND YOUR JOY JOB

❤️‍🔥You don’t have to burn it all down to begin again. Sometimes your Joy Job SPARK starts inside your day job — the shift is energetic, not logistical. It’s not about escaping work; it’s about infusing your work with joy, purpose, and authenticity until it becomes your Joy Job.... It's not a side "hustle" because JOY is always in FLOW... it's a JOB, but it doesn't feel like WORK. 

Your JOY JOB will be the SPARK that keeps your LIGHT going even when you don't love your DAY JOB, or it's toxic, or you can't see the way out - your DAY JOB BECOMES THE LIGHT. . . 🌠 

Your JOY JOB is part of your CALLING, your PURPOSE, and your soul knows... if you are ready to listen. 

In Human Design - You learn your ✨ NORTH STAR: it's the lens that you can put everything through to pair with your superpowers that LIGHT YOU UP inside.... and that SPARK is part of your mission of what you are supposed to do in this life, so you might as well learn to MONETIZE IT!! 💸 

In JOY UNLEASHED Chapter 9: YOUR JOY JOB, I give you the strategy to monetize your JOY through the lens of your Human Design. .  .

YOUR JOY JOB IS WAITING...

#joyjob #yourjoyjob #abundance #gratitude #thanksgiving #humandesign

There is a shift this season. Can you feel it?
The VIBE is changing — fast.

Expectations are rising while resources shrink.
Patience is thin. Rewards are delayed.
And kindness? Some days it feels like it evaporated overnight.

So what does the future of leadership look like?
It looks nothing like the old model.

Here is the truth no one says out loud:
💙 You’re already a high performer.
💜You’re already carrying more than most people can imagine. 
💙You already know how to push, hold, lift, deliver, achieve, and do it all on 4 hours of sleep. 
🤩 You're a badass. 

But the real question is: At what cost? This is where everything shifts.

Human Design changed my life — not by adding more to my plate, but by showing me the mechanics of who I actually am… and how to lead from a place that doesn’t drain all of my Projector energy.

S.O.S.? If you’re reading this, you feel that same pull toward a new operating system. More JOY, less hustle.

On January 15 & 16, 2026, we’re opening a transformational 4-week experience for only for 10 executive women.

Women who know it’s time to recalibrate their leadership from the inside out — because the next era demands it.

This is for the woman who knows:
 ✨ she’s meant for legacy-level impact
 ✨ she’s carrying complexity beyond normal capacity
 ✨ her nervous system needs a different strategy
 ✨ her next era requires a new level of support
 ✨ it’s time to stop compensating and start aligning

This is the work of leaders who are being initiated into their next frequency of POWER. This kind of work doesn’t just change your career — it changes your entire operating system.

Full details drop next week. Stay close.
 — Michelle Pecak & Carole Jean Whittington
