Mini Leadership Labs
These interactive 35-minute sessions cut straight to the skills leaders need most today. Each lab zeroes in on a specific challenge, giving you tools, frameworks, and peer insights you can immediately apply in your role. Attendees will participate in two sessions.
Lab A: Change Resistance vs. Change Fatigue
Change itself is not the issue; it is the accumulation that wears people down. This lab will help you recognise the difference between resistance and fatigue, and apply strategies that re-engage teams and sustain momentum without pushing them to breaking point.
Skills Learned: Establishing feedback loops, setting clear boundaries, and navigating resistance to change

Lab B: Leading High-Stakes Conversations and Negotiations
From budget battles to boardroom debates, high-stakes conversations test a leader’s ability to stay composed, credible and influential. This lab equips you with the tools to prepare for difficult discussions, manage pushback with confidence, and negotiate outcomes that balance competing priorities while protecting relationships and integrity.
Skills Learned: Conflict resolution, stakeholder influence, negotiating priorities, and maintaining credibility under pressure.
