Driving Corporate Sustainability from the Inside: Influencing & Negotiations Skills
Join Neil Yeoh, Founder & CEO of OnePointFive, for a hands-on 75-minute virtual workshop on how to influence sustainability decisions inside your organization. Climate progress rarely stalls because the data is wrong, it stalls because the ask was pitched in the wrong language, to the wrong person, at the wrong time. The professionals who move the needle aren't the loudest voices in the room. They're the most prepared.
In this session, you'll learn the SHIFT framework: a five-step approach to See the room, Hear the needs, Identify the allies, Frame the ask, and Tie it down.
What you will walk away with:
A clear read on the room: Understand how leaders actually decide on climate today - what drives them, what constrains them, and why most "no's" are about something other than what's said out loud
A tactical playbook for internal influence: Learn to map allies and blockers, translate climate asks into the language of risk, capital, talent, and growth, and lock wins into structures that don't depend on one person's conscience
Hands-on practice on a real-world case: Work through an AI x Sustainability case study in small groups to practice your influencing & negotiation skills, your translated ask, and to get to an agreement
