SCHEDULE & PROGRAMS
4:00-5:15 p.m. Professional Development Session | 1.5 CPEs
Mastering the Art of Stakeholder Communication and Negotiation
This program explores how finance leaders can elevate their impact by strengthening human skills in an AI-driven world. Presented by RGP, this session emphasizes the growing importance of soft skills – like empathy, critical thinking, and communication – in navigating complex stakeholder dynamics. The session also highlights how AI can support preparation and decision-making, but human connection remains key. Participants leave with actionable insights to improve stakeholder engagement and articulate value more effectively.
Ellen Ourednik | Vice President, Learning & Development, RGP
Kevin Lyle | Vice President, Strategy, RGP
Learning Objectives – Attendees learn to apply the SCORE framework (Start with why, Consider your audience, Outline & organize, Review & rehearse, Execute) to enhance clarity, influence, and negotiation outcomes. Real-world CFO scenarios illustrate how poor communication can cost organizations time and money, while strategic negotiation – anchored in value, not just price – can drive better business results.
