Leadership & People
The Inconvenient Finding
The partner is stuck in Singapore. You're presenting solo to a CEO who has already promised the board a comp fix.
WHAT’S HARD
The brief is short. The conversation isn’t.
The partner is stuck in Singapore. You're presenting solo.
The CEO already promised the board a comp fix.
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 Senior Consultant presenting findings without your partner in the room. Arvind Malhotra is the founder and CEO who has already told his board what happens next. You get the full brief after you sign in.
Do I need consulting experience to practise this?
No. The brief has the study scope and what was promised upstream. You're practising professional pushback when the inconvenient finding lands late.
