Get to Yes: How to Win Executive Buy-In for Your Boldest 2026 Ideas

Thursday, November 6, 2025

Live-only session. No recordings. Please come ready to connect, interact, and learn! This session is 45-minutes

You’ve got the vision, plan, and passion to move something meaningful forward in 2026. But without executive buy-in, even the best ideas stall.

If you’ve ever walked out of a pitch meeting wondering why your strategy didn’t land, you’re not alone. Securing real support from the C-suite takes more than a solid proposal. It takes insight into how decisions are made, what executives truly value, and how to speak their language without watering down your message.

In this live, practical Train the Trainer session, we’ll show you how to turn executive conversations into green lights.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A blueprint for gaining executive support: Learn how to position your HR or people-first ideas using business-first language that resonates in the boardroom.
  • Trainer-ready tools to coach others: You’ll receive Elevate’s proven frameworks, coaching prompts, and strategy templates to support your team in leading up and influencing effectively.
  • Insights from someone who’s done it: Guest speaker Susy Martins, former Chief People Officer, will share real talk on what executives look for and how to avoid common missteps that quietly kill ideas.
  • Strategies to build credibility and visibility: Discover how to establish yourself (and your team) as a strategic partner executives trust.

Whether you’re preparing your 2026 plan or building your influence for future conversations, this session will help you advocate with confidence and lead like a partner.
