Hey Reader,

Episode 6 is live and it’s a good one: 3 Steps to Influence any Exec. Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcast or via Web.​

Inside today's show:

You know the moment. You've laid out the perfect rollout plan for your project, program, or strategy — and then you're asked to have just one more conversation with that exec.

You happily schedule a quick 30-minute chat, fully expecting it to wrap in 15. But you're barely two slides in when the whole thing goes sideways.

If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

In this week's episode, we'll cover:

• How to pivot when your "easy" meeting gets hijacked by someone else's triggers — and the leadership skills to get it back on track
• How to identify your allies before you need them — a critical part of leadership development
• The key to effective communication with senior executives — even the difficult ones
• How to spot potential detractors and navigate around them before it's too late

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode.

Best,
Silvia
