What’s the move when one partner dominates every conversation? They’re good at what they do, but their personality takes up the entire room. I’ve tried pushing back, but it always turns into a power struggle. How do you realign leadership dynamics without turning it into a personal feud?

Align on speaking roles, clear outcomes, objectives each speaker is responsible for and social contracts like "no-pile on" rules before you walk into a client meeting. We use a sales technique called as "contact planning" to nail these before hand. After the call, Immediately debrief - discuss if outcomes were met, what we could've done better and if there was drift from the social contract agreed to prior.

Makes it a data driven conversation, takes the emotion and egoic slights out of the conversation. do this consistently and eventually you start setting a pattern of behavior and boundary with this person.

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
