Push back without damaging your relationship with your boss.

You've experienced this

• You disagree, but hold back
• You speak up, and it creates tension
• You're unsure how to push back without risk
• You replay conversations afterward

You're trying to balance honesty with risk—and it's not clear how to do both.

The problem isn't just what you say

It's how the interaction is structured—and how the other person is likely to respond. Without a way to adjust to that, pushing back will always feel inconsistent.

The session

This is not a lecture or generic training. It's a guided session where you will:

• Bring a real conversation you're dealing with
• Walk through how you're currently approaching it
• Identify where tension is created
• Test alternative approaches

You'll see how different approaches can reduce tension, make your position clearer, and maintain the relationship.

The real challenge

Different people respond differently to the same approach. What works with one person may create tension with another.

The real challenge isn't just what to say. It's knowing how to adjust based on who you're talking to—and how they're likely to respond.

In this session, you'll start to see that there's a pattern behind these interactions. That pattern can be learned—and applied consistently.
