We present Strategic Project Leadership® (SPL), which was built on the foundation of traditional project management during twenty years of research and work with corporations. SPL helps organizations deal with their projects in a flexible and adaptive way, and focus their projects on business results by creating value, competitive advantage, and winning in the marketplace. This integrated, industry-proven, and PMI award-winning approach combines the business-related needs of projects, the operational aspects of getting the job done on time and budget, and the leadership perspective of inspiring and motivating the team. We use lessons from several famous projects to show how project teams can integrate Strategic Project Leadership® into their current practices by building new skills on top of the existing PMBOK knowledge areas

This webinar offers an innovative perspective on Emotional Intelligence. It offers a clear explanation of emotions as an information system, the role of emotions in daily interactions and tools for managing emotions regardless of the circumstance. It also addresses key elements of strong leadership. An effective leader understands and copes with normal human emotions, managing them in a way that inspires his or her team to get the job done with the greatest cooperation and expediency. Emotional Intelligence reduces stress, improves your ability to make good decisions, and supports productive communication.
This webinar will focus on inclusive behaviours that will help project managers be more effective as leaders of diverse teams. This may include communication styles, culture, work styles, ethnicity, gender, etc. When it comes to managing projects and teams to achieve desired outcomes, philosophy and theories of diversity and inclusion are not enough. We have to define the behaviours that project managers need to practice in order to fully engage each individual, and ensure that the team is in snyc with each other. By knowing how to include other people, uncover and leverage their skills, you can get more done, in less time, with less stress.
