A Decision I Didn't Make
The AI policy email went out Monday morning. Sameer thinks it's surveillance. You argued against parts of it in the managers' call and lost.
WHAT’S HARD
The brief is short. The conversation isn’t.

HOW A SESSION WORKS
Four steps. About twenty minutes.
- 1°
Read the brief
The context, your role, and who you’re about to meet. No framework recap.
- 2°
Have the conversation
The other person pushes back, holds things back, and reacts to how you actually behave.
- 3°
Get the coaching debrief
What you did, what it cost you, and the specific move to change next time.
- 4°
Keep the evidence
Transcripts and cohort patterns your programme can actually show a sponsor.
BEFORE YOU START
Two things people ask.
Who am I in this conversation?
You're the Delivery Team Lead rolling out a policy you didn't write. Sameer Kulkarni is a senior developer who trusts you and hates the email. You get the full brief after you sign in.
Do I need change management experience to practise this?
No. The brief explains the policy and your team's reaction. You're practising disagree-and-commit when you're the face of a decision you didn't make.
