Our jobs as Project Managers require many left brain skills; such as solving problems or analyzing data. However, that alone will not necessarily ensure a successful project.

While project results are never certain, we can get a leg up, by partnering with our right brain, to hone our emotional intelligence.

This presentation will give you insights into how emotional intelligence, combined with how you “show up” as a leader, can help you to manage your project team, and other aspects of your life, to a more successful outcome.

Note: You do have to be a PMI® member to register for this opportunity.
