Practice consulting engagements with stakeholders. Sharpen your advisory skills and learn to navigate complex client conversations.

What this scenario is for

Consulting sessions simulate advisory conversations — scoping an engagement, pushing back on a stakeholder’s assumptions, or delivering a recommendation they may not want to hear.

Personas

Choose from stakeholder personas with different personality traits, from a collaborative sponsor to a defensive stakeholder protecting their own turf.

Tips for this scenario

  • Use the setup notes to describe the specific engagement or recommendation you’re walking into.
  • Practice delivering an unwelcome recommendation clearly and without over-hedging.
  • Add a second stakeholder persona to practice managing disagreement between two people in the same conversation.
