Hands-on workshop designed not only for engineers and technical leaders who want to understand why rational arguments and good data so often fail to win. Using short interactive exercise, you’ll experience that there might be a different way how things can be relayed - without selling your soul to the devil of politics.

We’ll break down common manipulation and political techniques that show up in everyday meetings: e.g. agenda control, anchoring, priming information, fake consensus, or elicitation - and explain why they work. Just as importantly, we’ll cover practical ways to spot these patterns early, defend against them, and make your ideas heard without becoming cynical or toxic.
