As an HR Exec, making the right move in a complicated situation can be tricky. Whether it’s disagreeing productively with your Board or others in the C-Suite, receiving unrefined ideas from your team that you can’t fully support, or needing to decline a request graciously – how you navigate these challenges shapes your leadership presence and ability to achieve your vision.
In this interactive session with David Lieberman, CEO and Founder of Gravity Learning, you’ll gain science-backed insights and learn useful techniques to handle these tough moments with intention and grace. You’ll walk away with new frameworks and skills, as well as the confidence to navigate sticky situations in all directions.

Learning Objectives:
- Participants will understand the key components of what happens in the brain during a
challenging situation identified by peer-reviewed, journal-published scientific research. - Participants will gain research-proven strategies for turning tense moments into
relationship- and conversation-building experiences. - Participants will apply what they have learned to their individual professional context
and walk away from the session better equipped to navigate sticky situations with ease.
