Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes

Join us for an illuminating discussion as Sunita Sah, esteemed professor at Cornell University's SC Johnson College of Business and leading expert on trust, ethics, and decision-making, delves into the hidden psychological forces that compel us to comply with authority—even against our best interests. Drawing from her groundbreaking book, Defy, Sah uncovers how subtle influences shape our choices, from workplace pressures to medical decisions, and provides actionable strategies to resist undue influence and reclaim autonomy.


Moderating this engaging session is Alison Fragale, an organizational psychologist and professor at UNC's Kenan-Flagler Business School. Fragale, author of Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve, is widely recognized for her expertise in status, power, and negotiation.


Together, Sah and Fragale will explore how to challenge authority, trust our instincts, and make decisions with confidence and integrity. Don't miss this opportunity to gain crucial insights from two leading experts in the fields of ethics and organizational behaviour.​
