About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Are you a leader navigating the demands of senior leadership, direct reports, and cross-functional peers, all at once? If you’ve ever felt stuck between competing priorities, unclear expectations, or team silos, you’re not alone.

The reality is, your success as a leader depends not just on how you manage your team, but how well you influence and collaborate at every level. Whether you're leading projects, managing change, or building bridges between departments, your ability to work up, down, and across can make or break your results.

This engaging, results-driven session will help you strengthen your influence, build trust, and communicate with clarity across your organization—so you can lead with more confidence and less friction.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

✅ A framework for building trust and credibility at every level
✅ Practical tips for managing expectations with superiors and decision-makers
✅ Tools to engage and motivate your team with clearer direction
✅ Strategies to improve communication and collaboration with peers

Best Fit For:

• Mid-level and senior managers
• Team leads and project managers
• Directors leading across departments
• Leaders in matrixed or highly collaborative environments

Today’s leaders can’t afford to operate in silos. This session will equip you with the clarity and tools to strengthen collaboration, communicate across the organization, and lead with greater impact, no matter who’s in the room.

Frequently asked questions

Q2: How can I influence senior leadership without overstepping or sounding political?

Many executives report frustration when their input gets overlooked or dismissed by those above them. You'll learn how to position your ideas in a way that aligns with leadership goals while maintaining your authenticity and credibility.

Q3: I lead a strong team, but collaboration feels forced. Why isn’t that trust trust translating?

According to Gallup, trust between teams is often lower than within teams due to siloed structures and communication gaps. This session helps you uncover and address those hidden disconnects to improve alignment and cooperation across functions.

Q4: What if my peers don’t want to collaborate—or worse, see me as competition?

Internal competition, unclear decision rights, and past conflicts often derail peer collaboration. We’ll explore strategies to reframe these dynamics and open the door to mutual respect and progress.

Q5: How do I lead in all directions without burning out or overextending myself?

Executive burnout is real—especially for those sandwiched between competing demands. In this session, you'll learn how to set boundaries, clarify expectations, and lead effectively without carrying the weight of everyone else’s work.

Q6: I’ve tried to “manage up,” but it always feels awkward or ineffective. What am I missing?

Many experienced leaders struggle to manage up because they use the wrong approach—often leaning too passive or too aggressive. This training introduces a balanced, practical way to engage senior leaders that feels both strategic and natural.
