Project Managers must develop their ability to deal with the people side of projects in order to achieve success.  While much time and attention is spent on training for the foundation skills, far less is spent on the soft skills.  Understanding how to effectively negotiate corporate politics and complex organization structures is vital.  Team members are also often located in different regions, countries, and cultures.  Project Managers need to be able to navigate complex dynamics to translate hard work into project success.  This workshop will provide participants with the knowledge and applied practice needed to successfully set/manage expectations, communicate and negotiate with stakeholders, and build an effective team culture.  These soft skills form the foundation of what separates a good Project Manager from a great one.  The course will be a mix of hands on training and group exercises.
