Forceful characters abound across the higher ranks of business and government. Wrangling them often falls to those that are their rank peers or subordinates. This session addresses techniques for gaining short-term results, and longer term behavior shifts.

Specifically written for the perspective of women influencing men, this talk guides the audience through a process borrowed from the field of high-intensity conflict resolution to proactively shape the behaviors of highly assertive characters while maintaining your personal integrity and mental health.

Pragmatic and realistic - a reminder that one is never powerless in any situation and we always have options to change the rules of the “game”. Delivered by one of our own high-ego men, delivering personal insights into the Achilles heels of their “types” and drawing on experience of board rooms across industries and geographies.

Can be presented as a keynote talk, or as a discussion in partnership with another Envoy facilitator.
