Professionals working in the field of project management are often exposed to stressful situations and frustrations caused by a wide variety of challenges ranging from unrealistic expectations, stakeholder resistance, or constantly changing priorities.

The reactions to these challenges depends greatly on the individual, their experience, and capabilities.

One thing that is certain is professionals could employ different techniques in dealing with organizational or team stressors, some positive, and others negative.

Unfortunately, even the most seasoned professionals are sometimes susceptible to committing a major mistake or taking an action that could ultimately be detrimental to the organization.

Given that all projects are about relationships, one of the most common causes of mistakes is due to misalignment of relationships.

As project, program, and portfolio managers react to these misalignments either fix them or to deal with frustration, there is a major risk that the action could ultimately result in burning bridges in terms of relationships with stakeholders, sponsors, customers, or organization. Burning bridges results in irreparable damage to relationships and often in hind sight may not be necessary.

In this webinar  Philip Diab (LinkedIn profile) explores the concept of burning bridges through a series of scenarios based on fictionalized accounts and stories.

The session will draw upon lessons learned from real life situations to share tips on how professionals can guard against unnecessary mistakes leading to burned bridges.

Philip will also discuss potential techniques and actions to be used in avoiding some common mistakes.

How to Make the Most of Your Skills, Passions, & Future

In an economy marked by the volatility and uncertainty of corporate layoffs, downsizings, and outsourcing, traditional full-time employment is declining.

Increasingly in its place are short-term assignments, contract and consulting work, and freelance assignments – a new way of working called “The Gig Economy.”

In this eye-opening program, Diane Mulcahy, (LinkedIn profile) author of The Gig Economy: The Complete Guide to Getting Better Work, Taking More Time Off, and Financing the Life You Want, narrows the lens.

Diane focuses on how women, more than ever before, can leverage this new way of work in order to more favorably (and more easily!) juggle the multiple roles and hats they have always worn.

Learn:

  • How to manage the risks of “gig work” while maximizing the rewards
  • Ways to thrive in this new landscape by cultivating multiple sources of income, skills, and a financial safety net
  • Secrets for how to finance time off between gigs – travel, volunteer, or pursue your passions
  • How to regain power over your calendar and control over you time
  • Ways to increase financial flexibility by reducing fixed costs and boosting income and savings

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.

Do you find yourself thinking that this benefits management stuff just seems really complicated and you’re not sure what to do?

With organisations becoming increasingly focused on ensuring benefits from change are realised, it is vital to have a mechanism for managing them pro-actively.

In this webinar, Jagjivan Matharu (LinkedIn profile) will focus on the practical and pragmatic application of a streamlined benefits management process that you can use for your change initiative (project, programme or whatever you call it).

Jagjivan will work through the core 4 step process for all benefits:

  1. Identify them;
  2. Define them;
  3. Plan for their realisation;
  4. Realise them.

In each step of the process, those aspects which have proven to work (not on the theory) will be identified, with lots of hints, tips and obstacles to avoid.

3 Steps To Ignite Engagement

Invest In The Voice That People Trust

As Ernest Hemingway once noted:
“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody

Is to trust them.”

Trust is at the heart of any successful brand. Yet, for the first time, trust in experts and CEOs have fallen behind on the 2017 Edelman Trust Barometer.

Today, consumers and candidates find friends and peers as more credible sources of information about a company.

Companies today need to leverage one of the most powerful trust-building brand assets they have – their employees.  By empowering their team with an opportunity to do what comes naturally, sharing their voice, companies are laying a foundation of trust and transparency.

In this webcast, Shannon Seery (LinkedIn profile) Group VP, Strategy & Client Services, Symphony Talent; will discuss how to build a culture of employee engagement that starts with building employee advocacy and trust on day one.

  • Learn how to get employee advocates on-board, on-brand and excited.
  • Realize the importance of building a measurable, incentive-driven advocacy program for motivation and engagement.
  • Gather best practices on how to leverage storytelling, fueled through trust, to drive positive employee engagement.
