Taking a Position Without Escalating the Room

Описание: In high-stakes meetings, many professionals don’t stay silent because they lack an opinion.
They stay silent because they know what can happen once they speak.

The room tightens.
People defend positions.
The conversation shifts from solving to protecting.

In this session, I explore why disagreement itself is rarely the problem, and how leaders can take a position without escalating the room. You’ll learn what actually triggers tension in conversations, what stabilises a discussion, and how to introduce your perspective in a way that keeps people engaged rather than defensive.

This talk is for professionals and leaders who regularly navigate complex meetings, negotiations, and decision rooms and want to communicate with more clarity, presence, and influence.

If you want to go deeper into this kind of work, this is exactly what we explore inside the Boardroom Inner Circle (BIC): a private, curated space where women in leadership roles develop their communication, influence, and decision-making through shared experience and reflection.
