This event is intended for professionals from all disciplines who are involved directly or indirectly with projects and project management; project, programme and portfolio decision-makers; and those working to achieve the UN's Sustainable Developement Goals and the UK's Net Zero Target.

WORKSHOP: HAVING RESPONSIBLE CONVERSATIONS

Implementing Responsible Project Management will require enhanced capabilities to communicate and influence others. Here is a great opportunity to focus on your personal development and get in some practice.

Facilitated by experienced project management coach and mentor, Dr Shirley Thompson, this workshop will engage project managers in discussing and practising the effective communication skills needed to be objective, yet influence the thoughts of others. The workshop is suitable for all professionals involved in delivering all types of projects, but focuses on influential behaviour with any stakeholder, including supporting others' development through mentoring.
