Successful leadership requires the ability to navigate high-stakes conversations with clarity, empathy, and strategic intent. In this dynamic program, you will learn how to use the Compassionate Curiosity Framework to confidently lead through conflict, motivate others, and negotiate outcomes that drive execution. Facilitated by attorney, author, and global negotiation expert Kwame Christian, this program blends psychology, emotional intelligence, and practical negotiation strategy. You will explore how to uncover hidden motivations, manage emotionally charged interactions, and build trust, even in disagreement. Through real-world examples and guided practice, you will strengthen your ability to influence across functions and levels, avoid common mistakes that can stifle healthy communication, and create alignment. Whether navigating a difficult team conversation or high-level negotiation, you will walk away with the ability to turn tension into traction and resistance into results. REGISTER
Every week, thousands of people leaders are asked, or expected, to lead change initiatives they did not design and that their teams may not welcome. Change is inherently complex: as humans, we’re wired both to grow and to resist threats. Unfortunately, many leaders view resistance as a problem to fix, wasting valuable time and energy and ultimately slowing down progress. This program offers a fresh perspective. Designed for leaders caught in the middle between top-down change directives and team pushback, it provides practical insights for navigating resistance more effectively. You will learn how to reframe resistance, understand its root causes, and lead in ways that accelerate transformation rather than stall it. REGISTER
