Why This Masterclass? 

You’re sitting in the room.
Your notes are ready.
The decision on the table actually matters.
And yet…

The conversation is circling. Voices are polite but tight. A few strong opinions dominate. Others go quiet. The real issue sits in the middle of the table, untouched.

You can feel it.
We’re not getting the resolution we need.
You glance around, half-hoping someone more senior will step in and lead the conversation.
No one does.
Now the pressure is on.

Do I say something?
Do I risk naming the elephant in the room?
How do I challenge this without derailing it… or myself?

This is the moment mid to senior leaders sweat through in C-suite rooms.
Without someone skilled enough to facilitate that disagreement, the room stays stuck.

That’s why Core Leadership Lab is hosting a live training with strategist Marja Fox on: The Art of Influencing Up: Facilitating High-Stakes Strategic Meetings with Confidence.

Marja has led McKinsey’s Global Corporate Strategy practice, served as VP of Marketing and Strategy & Business Development at Ecolab, responsible for growth strategy, innovation, new product launches, sales support and marketing communications of a $1B growth business. Now, she is a full time strategy consultant, facilitator and speaker, guiding 100+ exec teams from stuck conversations to decisive action. 

They call her "The Executive Whisperer" for a reason.

She doesn’t force consensus.
She designs structured disagreement that leads to real alignment.

Because real leadership isn’t about having the loudest voice in the room.
It’s about knowing how to move the room forward — especially when the stakes are high.

Join our masterclass and you'll learn:

✅  How facilitation pushes beyond meeting "hygiene" (eg., objectives, agendas, next steps)
✅  How to intervene when a conversation stalls or gets lost
✅  How to structure a dialogue that leads to real decision-making

This is for leaders who keep finding themselves in the room thinking, Someone needs to lead this conversation — and it might have to be me.
