Moments of Truth: Leading with Integrity Under Pressure

Business leaders are struggling to navigate high-stakes decisions where values, responsibilities, and business realities collide — without losing trust, credibility, or influence.

This intimate, off-the-record workshop will explore how sustainability, CSR, people leaders, and others are navigating these high-stakes moments—and why the ability to say No constructively is critical to preserving trust, staying aligned with core values, and strengthening civic norms.

Drawing on real-world case studies and a proven framework for crafting a “Positive No,” we’ll surface strategies for responding to pressure without retreating from principle.

Topics we’ll explore together:

• How to uphold professional and personal values amid rising external and internal pressures
• What it means to say No in a way that protects relationships and fosters long-term influence
• When business and legal leaders must set limits-to avoid violating responsibilities, ethics, or trust
• How to reframe a tough stance as a gateway to a better Yes
• Real-world scenarios facing corporate legal and executive teams-and what tools can help

This is a candid, facilitated discussion among peers—designed to equip you with practical tools for one of the most important leadership challenges of our era
