Get instantly actionable tools that can make your life easier the moment you hear them.

Real Project Management – Involves Real People

Project management looks sooo easy… on paper. You’ve studied endless flow charts and checklists that on how to manage projects. Whenfootball coaches design a play on paper, they make sure every defensive player is blocked or accounted for. So why doesn’t every play go for a touchdown?

Because in real life the play isn’t run by X’s and O’s… its run by real people!

People don’t come to your project as blank slates ready to eagerly do your bidding. They come fully loaded with biases, grudges, bad (and good) past experiences, trust issues, anger issues, resentment, fatigue, foolishness, duplicity, and countless selfish motives.

(Newsflash: you come in that way too!)

Put this System to Work for You and You’ll Discover in this Webinar …

  • How to manage commitments instead of people (this little ninja move puts the power in YOUR hands)
  • The secret language of requests (hey, it’s a secret if you don’t know and use it!)
  • How to identify the person you must get on board for your project to succeed (hint: it’s not the highest ranking or most outspoken person on the team)
  • The 3 step system for restoring integrity when someone (or you) drops the ball
  • How to hold people accountable gracefully (that is, so that they don’t hate you)
  • Secrets to managing resistance and other negative emotions like fear, anger, and frustration that put the brakes on your project
  • How to have difficult conversations and coach people into action

SPEAKERS: Best-selling authors of Who Will Do What By When? How to Improve Performance, Accountability and Trust with Integrity, Birgit Zacher-Hanson, MCC and Tom Hanson, PhD will lead the discussion on how project managers can double the efficiency and effectiveness of their projects.
