MULTI-CHAPTER MEETING | Break Down Barriers to Better Connections at Work
According to PMI’s 2023 Pulse of the Profession Report, communication, problem-solving, collaborative leadership, and strategic thinking top the charts when it comes to the Power Skills most responsible for project success. The statistics transcend geographical regions, industries, experience levels, and project methodology approaches. Join us in this first 2024 Lunch & Learn event featuring special guest speaker, Vidya Raman.
Effective workplace conversations are a crucial part of a successful and friendly work environment. When people make an effort to connect with their co-workers, they build stronger relationships, have fewer disagreements, and get more work done. For project professionals, being skilled in communication is a game-changer. It helps you express your ideas convincingly, gain your team's support, and attract followers. Success in connecting with others is when team members feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and go above and beyond to complete tasks. In simpler terms, great conversations at work lead to a happier and more successful team. Vidya will use stories, analogies, and metaphors to demonstrate effective connection strategies that enhance collaboration.
Learning Objectives: Audience members will leave motivated to:
- Put more energy, intention, and thought into connecting and communicating well with others.
- Discover an approach to finding common ground for effective win-win partnerships.
- Learn to see the value in people and become more empathetic.
