How to Influence Up and Facilitate High-Stakes Meetings | Marja Fox

You've done the work. You know what the answer should be. But when you walk into that meeting with senior leaders, everything falls apart. The conversation goes sideways, people argue about things that don't matter, and you leave without the decision you came for. In this conversation with strategy consultant Marja Fox, we talk about what it actually takes to influence upward, facilitate difficult conversations, and get results when the stakes are high, and everyone disagrees. We get into: 🞄 Why middle managers have the hardest job in any organization 🞄 The one thing people skip when preparing to influence upward 🞄 How to tell a story executives actually want to hear 🞄 The secret reason senior leaders always want to change your recommendation 🞄 How to facilitate meetings when people are entrenched, emotional, or stuck 🞄 Why creative techniques work better than PowerPoint (even with skeptical executives) 🞄 The real-time decisions that make or break a difficult conversation If you've ever walked out of a meeting wondering why it didn't go the way you planned, or if you're tired of watching important decisions get derailed by politics and rabbit holes, this episode will give you a completely different playbook. 🎧 Chapters: 03:11 - The hardest job: influencing without authority 04:30 - How to prepare for conversations with senior leaders 08:20 - Writing the answer before you know it's right 10:22 - Why executives always add value (even when you don't need it) 13:08 - How to handle high-stakes facilitation 18:00 - Breaking down problems when conversations go sideways 32:00 - The power of being the person holding the marker 34:30 - Why every meeting needs to feel different 42:09 - A real client story: turning around a founder-led company 56:30 - How to start practicing facilitation skills today 📩 Connect with Marja Fox: LinkedIn:   / marjafox   Email Newsletter: https://izmkb-zngp.maillist-manage.co...
