Potentia Event: Workplace Politics - How to manage challenging stakeholders

Last week we hosted our first in-person panel discussion for our members. This event was targeted at up-and-coming finance leaders with the goal of equipping them with strategies on how to navigate the challenging dynamics in the workplace. We were thrilled to welcome three of Potentia’s Founding Members to speak on the panel, each shared their insights on building effective stakeholder relationships and navigating complex workplace dynamics:


  • Natasja Laheij: Senior Finance Director at Google

  • Claire Lea (Price): CFO at GlobalData Healthcare

  • Anna Sedgley: Non-Executive Director & Former CFO and COO


Key Themes:

The panel discussion was held under the Chatham House Rule, this allowed the speakers to address a variety of themes and share personal anecdotes that resonated with the attendees. Here are some key themes that were discussed:

  • A Women’s Perspective on Managing Stakeholders

  • Understanding Stakeholder Dynamics – Building Trust and Influence

  • Effective Stakeholder Communication

  • Maintaining Integrity in The Workplace

  • Lessons Learned from Real Life Experience


After the panel discussion there was the opportunity for the attendees to network and continue the discussion. The event was a resounding success, providing a platform for emerging finance leaders to learn from experienced professionals and engage in meaningful conversations.


We are looking forward to hosting similar events throughout 2025. All our events are member only, if you are interested in joining Potentia register your interest here: https://www.potentianetworking.com/register
