WNORTH Roundtable | Virtual: Managing Up: A Roundtable on Influence, Trust, and Decision-Making

​VIRTUAL: Managing Up: A Roundtable on Influence, Trust, and Decision-Making with Nihad E. Karabernou

​📅 When: September 24, 2026
🕙 Time: 10AM PDT / 1PM EDT
📍 Location: Zoom

​Most senior leaders know how to manage down — but managing up is where careers accelerate or stall.

​This candid roundtable cuts through the theory and gives you a practical lens for navigating influence, building trust, and shaping decisions at the highest levels of your organization. We will explore how to communicate with authority, earn credibility with boards and executives, and position yourself as a strategic partner — not just an executor.

​You will leave with sharper instincts and concrete tools to lead with more impact from wherever you sit.

​We'd love to have you join the conversation. All are welcome.
