Does your project generate excitement and enthusiasm in your stakeholders? As a project manager, it is important to infuse people closest to the project with commitment, engagement and interest. You should uplift the people around yourself.
It should come as no surprise that influencing stakeholders requires planning. Specifically, you need to determine the spirit and mood of the people you wish to affect. One you have an appreciation for the audience’s emotional status and its values, you also need to understand the people’s beliefs.
Build on the audience’s values to lead them towards the intended goal. To truly get them on board, you will want to encourage the audience to change by adding meaning to how they feel.
By understanding and supporting your stakeholders’ feelings and beliefs, you will lift their spirit. Uplifted stakeholders help you manage the project effectively and efficiently.

Dear Stéphane
After sharing some results with you (to which I may add the purchase of a high-end camera and camcorder), I can reflect on what I think about the topic you have addressed.
The PMI Portugal Toastmasters Club was created with the purpose (mission) of supporting project managers in developing their leadership and communication skills.
Principles of the code of ethics:
Respect
Responsibility
Fairness
Honesty
Integrity
Service
Excellence
Transparency in processes and results
Strategy: To be the best and biggest Toastmasters Club in Portugal
The "recipes":
- Always put the organization first (your purpose)
- Comply with the principles of the code of ethics in all situations.
Do you know the concept of Character Ethics and Personality Ethics?
At the level of behaviors (personality ethics):
- enthusiasm
- Joy
- Loyalty
- Transparency
- Speak frankly
- Fix the errors
- Show respect
- Improvement (skills development)
- Clarify expectations
- practice responsibility
- Be empathic
- Being an evangelist
