The foundation of all effective feedback is this:

The intent to improve performance.

Without this intention behind it, feedback can fall flat, becoming a missed opportunity for both growth and connection. Transformative change cannot happen without feedback, so it is important to create the conditions where the receiver can take it in, reflect on it, and learn from it.

In this interactive webinar,  Christa will explore:

• Key components of high-impact feedback
• The critical connection between feedback and employee engagement
• A neuroscience perspective on feedback
• Emotions as the gatekeepers to rational thought
• Concrete ways to de-escalate emotion and refocus a feedback conversation

The best project managers know that managing the expectations, goals and objectives of key stakeholders is critical to project success.

If the stakeholders aren’t satisfied, even the most efficient and well-executed project won’t be deemed successful in the eyes of those that matter most.

The best way to ensure stakeholder needs are met is to establish them up front, along with clear and mutually agreed upon communication and project completion requirements.

By considering stakeholder perceptions while developing the project charter and project plan, you can avoid unnecessary readjustments during project execution.

Bonnie will review:

• How to initiate projects that help your organization achieve its goals
• How to develop a project charter and a project management plan
• How to identify and analyze project stakeholders and determine their information needs and communication requirements
• How to manage stakeholder expectations and ensure their satisfaction

The success of your organization often depends on how efficiently you deliver a product or service.

For most of us, we manage this effort with some kind of scheduling software—typically Microsoft Project.

But just because you implement a scheduling program, it does not guarantee successful project outcomes.

You can survey your project managers or schedule owners, but you still may not find the reasons why some projects achieve a successful outcome and why others do not.

Auditing a schedule is a great way to evaluate a schedule, capture lessons learned from projects, and determine how to improve the success of your organization.

Cindy’s objective in this webinar is to discuss scheduling audits, provide examples of what these audits might reveal, and provide suggestions to get started with auditing in your organization.

Learn:

• How audits drive consistency and show opportunities for schedule efficiency;
• How to ensure a visible critical path and verify resource workloads are properly loaded;
• The #1 mistake organizations make monitoring progress and how to fix it;
• Why missing baseline information prevents lessons learned.

Presenter: Cindy Lewis, (LinkedIn profile) PMP, PMI-SP, MOS, MCTS, MS, MCT, MVP-Project Sr Trainer/Consultant CorpEd Group, has  20+ years of experience in the field of project management.  Cindy specializes in consulting with clients on Agile and scheduling techniques and targeted one-to-one mentoring.

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.
