Difficult conversations: influencing change when alignment breaks down

In complex organisations, leadership challenges are rarely just about strategy, they are about how we navigate people, expectations, and alignment under pressure.

In this interactive session, we explore how to lead through difficult conversations and influence change when there is resistance, ambiguity, or differing perspectives.

We will look at practical situations such as:

• Giving feedback without triggering defensiveness
• Recognising early signs of misalignment
• Building shared ownership within teams
• Influencing without formal authority

What you'll gain from this webinar.
The session is designed to be practical, reflective, and directly applicable to your day-to-day leadership context.
