Communicate with Confidence When It Counts

How to Navigate High-Stakes Conversations with Clarity, Influence, and Impact

Whether you're negotiating compensation, advocating resources, or influencing key decisions, the ability to communicate your value and make a compelling case is a critical leadership skill. Join Brandee Collins for this practical three-part series, as it equips participants to navigate high-stakes conversations with greater confidence and impact.

Through real-world examples, interactive discussion, and actionable tools, attendees will learn how to prepare for compensation and promotion conversations, advocate effectively for themselves and their teams, build influence across stakeholders, and negotiate outcomes that support both personal and organizational success. Participants will leave with frameworks they can immediately apply to secure resources, gain buy-in, and confidently champion the ideas and opportunities that matter most.

Session Three: Influence and Negotiate
Securing buy-in, navigating pushback, and reaching better outcomes

Negotiation extends far beyond salary discussions. It is a daily leadership skill that shapes relationships, decisions, and results. In this session, participants will learn how to approach negotiations with a collaborative mindset and manage resistance productively. Attendees will develop strategies for influencing decisions, building consensus, and achieving outcomes that create value for all parties involved.
