Platform: Zoom

Duration: 60 min

Anna LADIPO
Support: Earning PDUs | Tips For Attendees
Overview
Project managers already possess one of the most powerful leadership toolkits available — yet many underestimate its application beyond the project itself. This webinar explores how core PM principles including stakeholder management, risk planning, scope definition, and change management translate directly into personal leadership development and career advancement strategies.
Drawing on over 20 years of Fortune 500 experience and graduate-level teaching in project management and leadership, Anna Ladipo will guide participants through a practical framework for applying the PM mindset to their own leadership journey — whether navigating organizational change, pursuing a career pivot, or positioning themselves for senior leadership roles.
Participants will engage through real-world case examples, reflective exercises, and a structured leadership roadmap activity they can apply immediately after the session. This is not theory — it is a practitioner-tested approach to leading with intention, clarity, and purpose.
This topic matters because the next generation of organizational leaders will not simply be those with the most technical expertise — they will be those who can manage complexity, lead through uncertainty, and deliver value at every level. Project managers are already doing this every day. This webinar helps them own it.
