Project Conversations: Making sure they don’t become crucial!

Think about how many conversations you and the project team have every day. Are you confident that every interaction, whether online or in person, is actually moving the project forward? What is the cost of the ones that don't? Do you want to prevent your conversations from becoming crucial?

Every conversation you and others have either moves the project forward, stalls it, or moves it backwards! This webinar will give you the tools to ensure every project conversation is productive, fosters greater commitment and garners results – and more importantly – doesn’t become crucial!

This is an opportunity to learn why well intended conversations often go "off the rails" and how to keep that from happening. Rooted in the latest neuroscience, the methodology is simple to understand, easy to learn and instantly applicable.

Organizational Agility: A Leadership Imperative 
Presented by Jim Ruprecht, CSM, CSPO

History and psychology tell us that our capacity to predict the future is limited in shrinking. At the same time, history and psychology also tell us that our capacity to believe in our predictions is unlimited.

The rate of change is no longer accelerating up an increasingly sloping line; it’s gone vertical and change is now environmental. Reality has never had much respect for our plans, and the universe is unlikely to ease up on us. This is our future.

In today’s world, your organization’s ability to adapt to change is key to its competitive advantage, thus its success and perhaps its relevance. Are you happy with your organization’s ability to adapt to change—are you happy with your organization’s agility? 

Rather than continuing to twist and torture your organization every time something unanticipated arises, let’s develop your organization’s agility. This webinar is the place to start. 

This webinar is for motivated and enlightened leaders at all levels who want to advance and re-energize their leadership craftsmanship. Moving quickly from concept and theory to field-proven pragmatics, our webinar will address the imperative for agility at the organizational level—the what, the why and the how of leading your organization in a way that makes the future a natural way of life, with more reality, more effectiveness, and less stress for all.
