Learn to handle challenging workplace conversations with confidence and clarity. Practical session for senior finance leaders, led by Diane
About this Event

Senior finance roles demand influence, clarity and the confidence to challenge. Yet even experienced FDs and CFOs can find themselves holding back, being talked over, or losing control of important conversations.Spaces are limited, so book early to secure your place.

Led by Diane Coolican, founder of RedSky Leadership Development, this HerFinance Circle session focuses on how you can handle those moments with more confidence and intent.

You’ll explore why certain conversations don’t land as planned, how your communication style can help or hinder you, and how to approach challenging situations without becoming defensive or confrontational.

You’ll leave with practical approaches you can apply immediately and as a CPD-accredited event, it provides 1.5 hours of recognised CPD learning.


In this session you’ll learn how to:

  • Understand your communication style and increase your self awareness
  • Use impactful techniques to challenge more confidently
  • Communicate clearly when stakes and pressure are high
  • Hold your ground without escalating the conversation
