BEYOND AGREEMENT:
Harnessing Disagreement for Robust Risk Solutions

Balancing growth, credit quality, and loan pricing is critical to every commercial lending operation. But differing perspectives can spark tension between lenders, credit, and leadership. This course shows how to harness disagreement as a productive force leading to stronger decisions, more effective teamwork, and better outcomes for your institution.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Commercial lenders, analysts, underwriters, lending specialists, approvers, and executives who want to improve collaboration and decision-making when viewpoints differ.

Participants will benefit from a working knowledge of business lending, including origination, underwriting, documentation and loan structure.

Participants will:

  • Recognize the value of disagreement in building stronger credit solutions.
  • Learn practical ways to navigate conflict productively.
  • Practice collaboration through case studies, role plays, and group exercises.
  • Build confidence to handle tough conversations across roles and titles.

Presented by: Clint Hooppaw is the founder of Highpoint Advisors, a consulting and training firm dedicated to building effective skills and confidence in the lending and credit industry. With nearly three decades of experience in banks, credit unions, and mortgage companies, Clint brings a unique perspective shaped by leadership roles in sales, operations, and senior credit management.
