Lean In Network Vancouver: Handling Objections at Work
About this Event

Turn pushback into progress. Build confidence and influence.



From Conflict to Connection

You’ve prepared your pitch or shared a really great idea—and then comes the objection. Maybe it’s from your manager. Maybe it’s a client. Maybe it’s a colleague across the table. Suddenly, you’re on the spot. Do you freeze? Defend? Or lean in with confidence?

Objections can feel uncomfortable, but they don’t have to derail the conversation. In fact, they can be powerful opportunities to build trust and deepen relationships, to help move things forward.

Join us for the next session in our Navigating Difficult Conversations at Work series, where we’ll break down practical strategies for handling objections with clarity and confidence. Through interactive discussions and real-world examples, you’ll gain tools you can take straight back to your workplace.



Who Should Attend?

This event is for you if you’re:

✔️ A professional navigating tough conversations with managers, clients, or peers.

✔️ Building leadership skills and wanting to influence without friction.

✔️ Early- to mid-career and eager to strengthen your communication toolkit.

✔️ Looking for strategies to turn pushback into progress.



What’s In It For You

Expert Insights – Learn actionable objection-handling techniques from seasoned facilitators.

Real-World Scenarios – Practice reframing and responding to objections in a safe, supportive space.

Interactive Learning – Go beyond theory with practical exercises you can use right away.

Networking Opportunities – Connect with like-minded professionals, mentors, and allies in Vancouver’s thriving community.
