Thirty years on both sides of the stakeholder equation.

Kshama Dhir is Business Head and Executive Coach at Vidyaara, with 30+ years across EY, Kroll, Bank of America, and Genpact. She has spent three decades on both sides of the stakeholder equation - managed by others, and managing large global teams herself.

This module is built on the same case-study method and practical framework she uses across all her programs - case-study led, not lecture-style.

Who This Is For

Built for people who feel this exact friction.

This module is scoped on purpose to address the biggest challenge. If any of the five below sound familiar, the three sessions are built around exactly this.

AI Has Changed What Everyone Expects From You

Your seniors want faster answers and sharper judgment. Your team is uneasy. And someone new is in the room: whoever decides how AI is used in your work.

You Manage Up, But It Never Feels Enough

You brief your seniors constantly, yet you're still the last to know what's actually driving the decisions made above you.

Your Client Relationships Need More Strengthening

The rapport is real, until a deadline slips or an ask changes - and you're never quite sure the relationship survives it.

Your Team Trusts You, But You Can't Drive the Change You Want To

You can rally a room in front of you. But to implement any transformation is really difficult.

You're Personally Good at Work, But Have Never Spent Time with Peers

You deliver. But the peers don't really know your expertise and you wonder why?

The 3 Sessions

One module. Every relationship that decides your outcomes.

Each session runs live and case-led, not a slide deck of theory. You work a real case in a live session with Kshama, then build the framework yourself - so you leave with something you made, not something you were handed.

Session 1 - Know Yourself First  ·  Fri 23 Oct, 6-8 pm IST

The Self-Assessment

Before you can read any stakeholder, you need to know your own default pattern - who you naturally over-invest in, who you avoid, and what that's quietly costing you.

Takeaway: Your Personal Blind-Spot Map, what's my default pattern?

AI lens: we also map the new stakeholders AI creates. Who decides how AI is used in your work?

Session 2 - Managing Up and Managing Out  ·  Sat 24 Oct, 10 am-1 pm IST

Seniors & Clients

How to read what your seniors actually need from you beyond deliverables, how to build client trust that survives the crucial decisions, and how to handle moments when what they want. Built around a real case of managing changing expectations in corporate world.

Takeaway: Trust Triangle Check: Where is trust wobbling with my seniors and clients?

AI lens: how your seniors' expectations shift when AI makes fast analysis cheap, and what they now expect from your judgment.

Session 3 - Leading the Room You're In  ·  Sun 25 Oct, 10 am-1 pm IST

Teams & Peers

Your team and Peers are key stakeholders too. Using a real case of an investment ask that stalled at the global level, we walk the full Power-Interest Grid live - then you build your own, covering every relationship that shapes your outcomes, not just the loud ones.

Takeaway: Your Complete Stakeholder Power-Interest Grid and how do I engage them?

AI lens: leading a team through AI anxiety, and updating your Power-Interest Grid.
