Projects are the mechanism to realize business strategy, create competitive advantage and achieve organizational transformation.

Important stuff, but most often, projects are being done in addition to ongoing business operations with constrained resources.

Therefore success is dependent on getting the right resources, spending your budget wisely, and keeping people focused and motivated to execute.

Warning signs that a project is headed to failure include missed deadlines, confusion, conflict and churning. All this can contribute to project manager and team burnout.

Effective project managers look for these early warning signs of failure and burnout so they can take corrective actions, but more importantly, they proactively work to avoid them.

In this webinar you will learn tips and techniques to:

  • Cultivate a healthy environment for your project, your team, and yourself
  • Create best practices you can rely on to drive the project forward
  • Leverage relationships to support and motivate

In her current role as the Program Director for the Massachusetts Medical Society™(MMS) Corporate IT Program Office, Bonnie is responsible for coordinating the efforts of project teams, overseeing the implementation of project standards, managing the corporate IT strategic plan, and leading the program to re-engineer the membership platform for MMS.

Secrets That Only Top Negotiators Know

Negotiation is a different form of influence.
There is a time to influence and a time to negotiate.

Have you ever LOST a negotiation?

  • Most people have and don’t even know it!
  • What underhanded tactics are other negotiators using on you?
  • How can you counteract them?

The worst time to learn a negotiation skill is when you need it.

Negotiation must be mastered before it is needed, or the opportunity is lost forever.

For example, are you tired of:

  • Losing business deals
  • Not closing sales
  • People not listening
  • Being told no
  • Losing negotiations
  • Not getting your way

There are 7 negotiation blunders you are making right now that cause people to resist you and your offer.

This webcast will get down in the trenches and reveal the secrets that only top negotiators know.

Each blunder is like driving around town with your emergency brake on. All the time, you are wondering why your car (or negotiation) never has much power.

These problems are simple to fix, but expensive to have. Negotiation has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. And ironically, some of these negotiation blunders are still being taught in expensive courses as the techniques to use!

This webinar is certain to open your eyes to the NEW world of negotiation and influence.

What does it take to negotiate with power in any encounter?
….  Think about it    ….

  • When was the last time you didn’t get something you wanted?
  • What happened?
  • Did you fail to get your point across?
  • Were they influenced by someone else?

Here’s a sampling of what you will discover:

  1. Dirty deeds unscrupulous negotiators will use against you
  2. Discover negotiation secrets only known to seasoned negotiation professionals
  3. Top blunders average negotiators frequently make
  4. How following your natural instinct will cost you millions
  5. How to establish instant credibility (even when you don’t have any)

You will find this webinar TRANSFORMATIONAL!

Kurt will help you to internalize these techniques and start using them as soon as possible.

While attending this program is FREE, reservations are required – However most AMA webinars are recorded for later viewing.

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