Navigating High-Stakes Conversations with Authority and Impact Masterclass

High-stakes conversations are moments that define leadership reputation, trust, and influence. For C-suite executives and senior leaders, these conversations rarely happen in “safe” environments. They occur under pressure — with investors questioning performance, clients escalating issues, suppliers pushing back, Boards demanding answers, or senior leaders challenging direction and priorities.

Inside organisations, high-stakes conversations often involve holding other senior leaders to account, navigating conflict between executives, managing underperformance at the leadership level, or delivering messages that carry strategic, reputational, or cultural consequences. Outside the organisation, these conversations can determine commercial relationships, organisational credibility, and long-term stakeholder confidence.

This full-day masterclass equips senior leaders with the mindset, structure, and communication authority required to navigate these moments with clarity, composure, and impact. Participants will learn how to remain grounded under pressure, communicate with confidence without defensiveness, and influence outcomes without escalating conflict or damaging relationships.

Drawing on evidence-based communication principles, real-world executive scenarios, and practical rehearsal, this masterclass goes beyond “having difficult conversations” and focuses on leading when the stakes are highest — where every word, tone, and decision matters.
