Why this topic matters
Senior leadership is tested when the plan gets questioned, not when the slides go smoothly. A CEO may challenge the economics, change the premise, or demand an answer before you're ready. In this live simulation, you'll watch a product leader face a tough executive challenge, compare weak and strong responses, and practice one yourself. You'll leave with a framework to stay clear and credible when the stakes rise.
