EVERY LEADER FACES SITUATIONS WHERE POWER, PEOPLE, AND PRIORITIES DON'T ALIGN.
This Day Is Built To Address Them👇
When key stakeholders want different outcomes
When you need to disagree with someone senior
When the right decision comes with a political cost
When you need support from people who don't report to you
When everyone agrees in the room, but nothing moves afterwards
When “office politics” gets blamed without understanding what's behind it

The Excel360 framework
One day. Three capabilities.
Built in this order, on purpose.
This isn't a grab-bag of leadership tips. It's a progression — each capability builds on the one before it.
Assess
Recognise the hidden stakes, agendas, and fears shaping the room — before you react to it.
Align
Create confidence and alignment
in others precisely when uncertainty is rising fastest.
Achieve
Exercise sound judgement and act
with conviction when no perfect answer exists.
"Leave with the ability to assess clearly, align honestly, and achieve decisively — in the rooms where power is always in play."
27th September · 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM
Inside the day
One real organisational case. One live stakeholder simulation. One forum of leadership dilemmas with no perfect answers. Here's exactly how the day unfolds.
9:00 – 9:30
Registration, Tea & Coffee
9:30 – 10:00
Conclave Opening — "What Power Really Tests in a Leader"
Resets the room's assumptions: navigating politics isn't manipulation, and avoiding it isn't integrity.
- Assess
10:00 – 12:00
Reading the Room Behind the Room
A live organisational case with competing, legitimate interests and no clean villain. The question isn't "who's right" — it's "what's actually driving this room."
12:00 – 12:30
Leadership Reflection Dialogue
Small-group conversations that turn the mirror from the case to you: what do you consistently miss about power dynamics under pressure?
12:30 – 1:15
Lunch Break
- Align
1:15 – 3:15
Building Coalition Under Pressure
A live, multi-stakeholder simulation. Practise holding your position, building real alignment, and staying honest with power — in real time.
3:15 – 3:30
Tea Break
- Achieve
3:30 – 5:00
The Defining Decision Forum
A series of high-stakes calls where every option carries a political cost. What kind of leader do you become when the room is watching who you protect?
5:00 – 5:30
Closing Integration — The Executive Presence Commitment
You'll leave with a personal commitment: what you'll stop, start, and do differently the next time power and politics are in the room.
Don't Take Our Word For It. Hear From Ones Like You
Why this room, why now
This isn't another leadership seminar.
01
The promotion that went to the better-positioned leader
Not someone who worked harder. Someone who understood the room — and you didn't see it happening until it was decided.
02
You practise, you don't just listen
Every time you stayed neutral to stay safe, the room drew its own conclusions about where you stand.
03
A room full of people navigating what you're navigating
You had the right instinct. You didn't know how to act on it without burning a relationship you needed.
04
Led by coaches who've stood where you stand
Coach Harsh, Coach Henrietta, and Coach Dhana bring real executive and coaching experience navigating power inside real organisations — not borrowed frameworks.
05
A framework you'll actually remember
Assess → Align → Achieve. Simple enough to recall in the room where it matters — which is the whole point.
06
An accessible entry point, a serious experience
₹1499 gets you a full day of facilitation, simulation, lunch, and a certificate — designed to be an easy yes, not a budget decision.
Certificate of Completion — issued to every participant who completes the conclave, recognising your investment in executive presence and leadership growth.

FAQs
Who is this conclave for?
Leaders, managers, and senior professionals who regularly find themselves in high-stakes rooms — board meetings, stakeholder negotiations, leadership transitions — and want to show up with more clarity and command in those moments.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes — you're welcome to bring your spouse or a colleague. Each attendee registers separately at ₹500.
What's included in the registration?
The full one-day workshop, lunch and refreshments through the day, a certificate of completion, and access to all simulations, case studies, and facilitator-led sessions.
Will I receive a certificate?
Yes. Every participant who completes the full day receives an Excel360 Certificate of Completion.
Can I upgrade to Diamond Membership after completing this?
Yes. Details of the upgrade pathway will be shared at the end of the program.
Is there a limit on how many people can attend?
Yes. Attendance is intentionally limited to keep the room small enough for real interaction, simulation, and meaningful conversation — so we'd encourage registering early.
I have a conflict on 27th Sept — will there be another Conclave in Pune?
This is a one-time event in Pune. The next city will be announced separately. If 27th September doesn't work, we'd encourage you to watch for the next city announcement.
Who do I contact with questions?
Email support@harshjohari.com or call +91 99202 04392 for any queries about the conclave.
