Over the past several years, there has been a dramatic change in when, where, and how we work.

What hasn’t changed is the need for people to work together to achieve shared goals and the need for organizations to get things done through the power of teams.

1. What behaviors derail productivity and fracture trust?
2. What actions foster accountability and drive connection?

Christa will explore:

• A globally validated framework designed to challenge teams to rethink their approach when working together.
• A high-level overview of The Five Behaviors^® model and how it can work for you
• Insights that you can apply to your own teams and organization

The Five Behaviors^® model takes the form of a pyramid, with each behavior serving as a foundation for the next: building trust, generating productive conflict, achieving commitment, embracing accountability, and focusing on results.

Learn more about this unique and impactful learning experience that empowers teams to shape new, more productive behaviors and create a common language that redefines what it means to collaborate.

Building trust and credibility as a project manager with colleagues, management, and clients takes time, commitment, and consistency.

It means connecting and building meaningful relationships that over time reveal character, values, and trustworthiness.

This can be especially difficult while juggling multiple projects, sharing resources, and managing toward tight deadlines.

Though it won’t happen overnight, there are some steps you can take to help make a great first impression and get you started on the right path in those relationships.

Incorporating trust-building habits and making them second nature will help you build a reputation of integrity and rock-solid dependability over time.

In this webinar Marie will discuss techniques to help you:

• Make the right first impression.
• Build on that first impression to grow credibility over time.
• Address and repair when trust is broken.

We did it! The deliverable (new system, process, product) is done. But no one is using it, and it is too difficult to support!

What Can Children Teach Us about Project Management?

As surprising as it may seem, the art of raising children leverages many of the same skills as managing a project team.

Fostering the growth of a child’s mind requires the creation of a positive atmosphere comprised of love, trust and enablement. Similarly, in working with teams, we strive to create an atmosphere of open communication, collaboration and trust.

This webinar will highlight and examine 7 things you can learn from kids that apply to project management:

1. Play group dynamics are a lot like team dynamics
   • no one should be left out
   • we should respect the will of the group
2. To gain cooperation, timing is everything
   • never seek it on empty stomachs or after a long day
   • understanding what motivates others is the key to maintaining collaboration
3. Learning moments need to be seized and capitalized on
   • capitalize on the sense of urgency for maximum effect
4. How to combat peer pressure
   • being unique doesn’t mean you don’t fit in
5. Working through conflict means learning to work it out
   • bullying hurts everyone, especially the bullier
6. Value everyone’s talents and approach
   • not everyone learns the same or thinks the same
7. Be consistent when applying support, rewards, corrections and routines
   • it will reduce anxiety and set a pace
