Project management can learn a surprising amount from Charles Dickens. Our practices extend back to the time he was writing, as the industrial revolution took hold.

Some of those practices have not shaken off the mantle of that legacy. An exploration of our world through the eyes of a very different one.

In this webinar,In this webinar, Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management will explore:

• The challenges associated with effective project management
• Why project managers often develop a myopic and narrow view of the project they are managing
• What a broader perspective of our projects and how we manage them might offer
• The insights that Charles Dickens offers to project managers
• How to manage projects in a way that brings value to stakeholders, and keeps the spirit of Christmas alive throughout the year

Live Webinar December 14th, 2018 – 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hours 1 PDU
Provider:  TidalShift (Rep 1051)  PDU Code: 1051U3Z2L8

In this session TidalShift looks at how providing feedback using a coach approach can be extremely impactful.

They will discuss how to provide relevant and “call to action” feedback using the OSCAR model, giving PMs tools they can use to have those difficult conversations.

The OSCAR model,

1. Outcome: Help the team member to clarify their outcomes.
2. Situation: Get clarity around where the team member is right now.
3. Choices and Consequences: Help the team member to generate as many alternative choices as possible and raise awareness about the consequences of each possible choice.
4. Actions: Help the team member to clarify their next steps forward and to take responsibility for their own action plan.
5. Review: Create an ongoing process of review and evaluation. This is where you help the team member to continually check that they are on course.

Giving (and getting) feedback can be very uncomfortable, at times to the point where we will avoid it at all costs.
