This session explores how high-performing women in public service can navigate high-stakes conversations with greater clarity, confidence, and authority by focusing on their internal responses in the moment. Rather than viewing conflict as a disruption, participants will learn to reframe it as an opportunity for leadership. Through practical strategies and proven frameworks, Dr. Shola Ezeokoli guides attendees in recognizing patterns like over-explaining or withdrawing, managing emotional reactions, and setting clear boundaries. The session equips participants with tools—including the MAGIC 5 practices—to stay grounded, communicate effectively, and lead with intention and composure in complex professional environments. |
