S10E2: Stakeholder management - finding common ground
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Stakeholders don't always agree with us. More often than not, they push back. Your first instinct might be to go through your argument once more (just to make sure). Don't.
In episode two of their stakeholder management series, Imogen and Amanda look at what to do when it feels you're not only on a completely different page from your stakeholder, you're actually not even reading the same book.
They look at why curiosity beats defensiveness, how to understand the question behind the question, and why common ground doesn't have to mean full agreement.
Imogen Hitchcock and Amanda Pierce have a clear purpose: creating communications (and communicators) that spark action, drive growth, and build lasting influence. Between them, there’s not a question or crisis they haven’t faced. From the everyday “could you just…” to high-stakes challenges, they’re here to share their insights and help you thrive.
They'd love your stars, favourites, and follows. Please, give them the social validation they crave ;)
