Master Pushback: 3-Day Challenge
Transform Skepticism, Criticism and Resistance at Work into Clear Conversations and Confident Decisions (Without Snapping or Shutting Down)
Â
Let's Keep It Real For a Second.
Â
You’ve got the title and the track record of success.
But the moment you're questioned, challenged, or doubted—your voice tightens. You either say too much, too little… or nothing at all.
Â
And later, you're replaying that moment in your head: "Did I say the right thing? Did I lose their trust in my abilities? Should I have handled that better?"
Â
This 3-day challenge is for the leader who’s done shrinking, spiraling, or snapping in high-pressure conversations—and ready to respond with clarity, not chaos.

Yes, I’m In!Does this sound familiar?
Â
❌ Speak too quickly — and later regret how it came across
❌ Freeze up and wish you’d said more
Â
❌ Feel like your credibility took a hit — even when you were right?
Â
❌ Overexplain or talk in circles to prove your point
Â
❌Struggle to bounce back after criticism or resistance
Â
Let's fix that with the same framework I've taught to executives at Fresenius Medical Corp, the US Navy, and more.Â
Reserve My Spot!
Here’s Why This Work Matters
Â
When you react to pushback or resistance from a place of fear or ego, it shows. And it costs you more than you think:
-
People shut down, not speak up
-
Trust cracks quietly
-
You walk away, replaying the moment, doubting your own potential
But when you meet these challenging moments with curiosity, clarity, and calm?
-
You don’t just keep the conversation going, you move it forward
-
You create a safe space for disagreement and growth, not just compliance
-
You lead even when it’s messy, and the best version of you shows up and people want to follow your lead

Yes! Let’s Do This!"This process gave me a new level of clarity about my approach to having tough conversations. I used to walk into a conversation ready to defend myself and get my point across. Now, I realize (1. honoring my pause!..lol Thanks Kandia ) starts and ends with me, and I’m able to lead tough conversations in such a way that I don't feel so defensive or overwhelmed.Â
— Sheila M., VP of People OperationsÂ
 "Before I registered for Kandia's workshop, I thought I only needed techniques to feel less reactive at work, especially when dealing with staff, but this class helped me realize ways to manage stress at home too. "
— Cynthia S., Residential Program Director
