Virtual (URL for the session will be provided prior to each weekly session)

Abstract:

NCPMI in partnership with Apex System is offering a Virtual Workshop Series on Time Management and Communications for All Practitioners. You must watch the on-demand webinar here prior to attending this live question and answer event. These sessions will be free for NCPMI Members and hosted online via ZOOM

Webinar Overview:

Are you managing" or being managed" by your stakeholders? Giving your stakeholders what they want is difficult enough but if you do not understand them even more so. If you don’t have a better idea of what makes them tick you will not be able to manage them. To truly be effective on complex teams or in complex partnerships, it requires a level of stakeholder analysis and management that most people are not prepared for. What is the worst that can happen? They will never work with you again! Ouch, that can be a career buster for sure. How do you deal with a multitasking, scene-stealing, micromanager?
