Help your workforce shift from the tension of difficult conversations to making progress on important issues. According to a recent study, 65% of people worry about how the other person will react to having a difficult conversation. It’s common for people to avoid difficult conversations or handle them poorly because they feel unprepared or afraid to address challenging issues.

While avoiding difficult conversations may lead to temporary relief, the true underlying issues persist, eventually building into larger problems. Growth happens in effectively addressing challenging issues—both for individuals and organizations.

Learn how to:

• Implement the mindsets, skillsets, and toolsets needed to navigate difficult conversations
• Help yourself and others stay engaged in collaborative dialogue to make progress on important issues
• Set a clear and collaborative tone from the start of the conversation
• Notice emotions in yourself and others that may impact the conversation
• Respond to emotional reactions in the moment to keep the conversation productive

Meetings are a necessary part of every project manager’s (and agilists’) day. However, as important as these events are (yes, meetings are events!), they are frequently poorly run and leave both meeting leaders and attendees dissatisfied.

This can be detrimental to the project because of inherent miscommunication or non-communication, to say nothing of the reputation of the project leader. In this session, attendees will learn the fundamentals of good meeting management starting with having a good agenda to being “large and in charge” to dealing with meeting goblins – those nasty personalities that sometimes emerge during meetings.

The increasing role of AI in meeting facilitation will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the importance of planning for your meetings and your projects – and how this impacts your project team
• Recognize and deal with disruptive meeting behavior and gain tips on how to prevent others from hijacking your meeting.
• Differentiate online meeting facilitation skills from those needed for face-to-face meetings
• Identify ways in which AI can be (and has already been) made part of meeting facilitation

The topic of the webinar, close to the border of psychology, includes those ethical aspects that are tremendously influencing our projects and social life as well.

The presenters, Simona Bonghez (LinkedIn profile), & Leah Brophy (LinkedIn profile) are members of the PMI Ethics Member Advisory Group.

Simona & Leah will talk about the psychological distance between our actions and their impact, about how this distance explains some of our temptations (especially when we fell pray to them) and about the broken window concept applied in ethics (something that we encounter more and more nowadays).

Ethics tools available for practitioners are presented and their possible practical results shortly described.

In this webinar Tam. Abaku (LinkedIn profile) speaks about Open Government and the Adaptive Public sector, and it is hinged on Power Skills on the PMI Triangle.

Public sector initiatives can originate from citizens, but if a government is not open there will be no recognition for civic space, and it might be impossible for citizens to have a voice in what the government does.

Open government creates the necessary framework for civil society and the public to be able to make input in governance; enabling citizens to hold leaders accountable via open data, while preventing wrongdoings on both sides.

This webinar will provide insights into the concept of open government and explain why it is a precondition for advancing an adaptive public sector. Lessons will be drawn from Estonia’s openness-by-design, and some testimonies shared during the recently held Open Government Partnership Summit.

Walk away with an understanding of the following points:

1. It is better to be open-by-design
2. It is not too late to start transforming processes that lead to open Government
3. One way the Public sector can use technology for good is by being open
4. In the context of good governance – public leadership should be open for accountability

When communicating, we automatically delete, distort and generalise, but usually don’t know we’re doing it.

In this panel webinar the presenters discovered how to challenge and use this in project communication.

The project environment relies very heavily on communication. There are many standard formats used, and a few channels to consider.

It is worth examining how aspects of the NLP Communications Model are being used, deliberately or unconsciously; also it is worth considering how deletions, distortions and generalizations can be challenged, in the interests of better communication and decision making.

This was a joint panel webinar from APM People SIG and ANLP International CIC: The Association for NLP.
