Project Managers Learning About Influence

 

In 2016, I had the honour of presenting five webinars here at the Project Management Institute. Judging by the comments and ratings, they've gone down well.

All of them had a purpose, and combine to provide a short course in influence,, and this is freely available in the OnDemand catalogue (see below). 

Having engaged with so many project managers during the year, I've learned a great deal. I've been delighted with the energy, enthusiasm and professionalism of the people here. So, I've decided to share more with you here during 2017 via this blog.

On a regular basis, hopefully once a week, I'll post a provocative, thought-provoking or practical article (200-300 words or so) to help you on your journey to greater influence. Because they will be brief, feel free to ask follow-up questions in the comments, or reach out to me directly.

I hope you find them useful enough to share with your colleagues and friends.

Here's the short course on influence in the PMI OnDemand catalogue:

• Strategic Influencing for Project Managers
• Diagnosing Power Dynamics Around Your Project
• Engaging Stakeholders with Style
• Building Your Reputation
• How to Handle Project Politics

My sincere wish is that you put these to good use doing great work while building a successful career in project management!
