Inside the Organizational Leadership & Negotiation Program: A Student Q&A Session

This recorded Q&A session featured Michele Brescia, an August 2025 alumnus of the program, and Dr. Josh Weiss, program director, as participants asked questions and gained first-hand insight into coursework, career goals, and more. Whether they were curious about the curriculum, time management, or how the degree supported leadership growth, attendees brought their questions and received candid answers in a casual, interactive setting.

This Hot Topics session draws from our MBA program, which uses critically acclaimed books to bridge theory and real-world application. You'll learn effective strategies to stay calm, communicate honestly, and build mutual respect—even in high-pressure situations. This discussion offers a glimpse into the kind of classroom experiences that help students develop practical tools for handling tough situations more effectively with skill and empathy.

During the Pillars for Career Success webinar, Dr. Joshua Weiss discussed the connection between successful leadership and negotiation.
