How many times have you wanted to object\, disagree\, or opt out of something—but ended up swallowing your words\, shaking your head\, and just going along? Discussing the ideas and frameworks from her bestselling book *DEFY*\, Dr. Sunita Sah will delve into why the pressure to comply is a corrosive and often invisible force in our society\, and what we can do about it. \n\nDrawing on her original research on compliance\, defiance\, insinuation anxiety\, and voice\, you’ll learn to:\n\n+Show+ up authentically in personal and professional situations\n+Understand+ the difference between defiance\, compliance\, and consent\n+Practice+ defiance in low-stakes scenarios to build confidence\n+Recognize+ your body’s warning signals that it’s time to act\n+Navigate+ workplace pressure without losing your integrity (or your job)\n\nDefiance isn’t about being loud or combative. It’s about acting in alignment with your values\, even when it’s hard. *DEFY* will show you how to do it every day\, in every part of your life\n\nAbout Sah:\nDr. Sunita Sah is the National bestselling author of *DEFY*\, an award-winning professor at Cornell University\, and an expert in organizational psychology. She leads groundbreaking research on influence\, authority\, trust\, compliance\, and defiance.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Story Lab Winter Retreats
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT\nStory Lab develops executive-level presence and communication skills through storytelling workshops and events. To be an effective leader—at work\, in the community\, or in your personal life—you must be able to communicate with impact.

If you can craft and deliver an effective story\, you will be better able to convey your value to recruiters\, inspire and motivate classmates and colleagues\, and influence your audience. At Story Lab\, you’ll find an immersive experience and an opportunity to hone your skills in a safe and supportive environment.\n\nStory Lab is supported in part by M•LEAD and the Ford School’s Leadership Initiative.\n\nDATES\n2/18\, 4:30–9 PM (virtual) OR 2/19\, 9 AM–1:30 PM (Choose ONE)\nDevelop your storytelling abilities.\n\nPARTICIPANT REQUIREMENTS\nDeep interest in storytelling\, personal growth\, and lifelong learning.\nThis program is open to all U-M students.

Any remaining spots will be made available to students in other programs.\n\nREGISTRATION WINDOW\n2/1–2/12\n\nVisit our website to learn more!
