About The Event

In today’s complex and interconnected world, conflict is inevitable—especially when working across cultures, industries, and perspectives. The ability to navigate high-stakes disagreements with clarity and confidence is a critical leadership skill.

Join us for an exclusive session in partnership with INSEAD, featuring a hands-on workshop led by Professor Eric Luis Uhlmann. Designed for leaders operating in dynamic and often ambiguous environments, this session will equip you with practical frameworks to manage difficult conversations and resolve disputes effectively.

This is a two-part event:

Part 1: Advanced Dispute Resolution Workshop (2:00 PM to 6:00 PM)
This interactive workshop is limited to 35 participants to ensure a high-quality, discussion-based learning experience. Please register only if you are able to commit to attending the full session.

Participants will explore how conflicts evolve when assumptions clash, communication styles differ, and trust breaks down. The session introduces key negotiation dynamics—interests, legitimacy, and power—and how to apply them strategically to de-escalate tensions, avoid conflict spirals, and navigate emotionally charged situations. You will also examine how cultural differences shape perceptions of fairness and learn how to adapt your approach when shared standards are not present.

Part 2: Moderated Panel Dialogue (6:45 PM to 8:30 PM)
Following the workshop, join us for an evening panel discussion featuring experienced practitioners. This session is open to all, and will offer real-world perspectives on navigating complex disputes across global and professional contexts. Joining us on the panel is Danna Er, a leading dispute resolutions lawyer at an international firm in Singapore. This will be moderated by Dr Nadir Zafar, Managing Director, Singapore Leaders Network at HCLI.

A light networking dinner will be held in between sessions.

Registrations for this event will open soon. Watch this space!
