Topic: Leadership Gym - Flexing Your Leadership Muscles with Confidence

Even the most seasoned Project Manager can find themselves in situations that test their self-confidence. For example:

Do you pull your hair out trying to engage project team members when you have no official “authority”?
Do you abhor giving feedback, especially when it’s not positive?
Do you dread giving presentations?
Do you struggle telling succinct stories based on graphs and charts?
Have you run into the occasional project team that has NO energy?

The list can go on and on …

Leadership skills develop over time, given enough opportunity and practice. As professionals our learning never stops; AND taking charge of your own development will get you further faster. In this workshop, participants will:

Conduct a “self-confidence check-up” on specific essential leadership skills,
Identify 2-3 areas upon which improvement is sought, and
Leave with an actionable plan to groom these selected leadership skills
