Successful projects don’t just happen — they are made to happen. Popular speaker and best-selling PM author Neal Whitten takes leadership and project management to a personal level by revealing leading-edge best practices that make all the difference between leading consistently successful projects and playing the victim with troubled projects.
Focusing mostly on leadership and soft skills, this thought-provoking seminar reveals choices to make and behaviors to adopt that are invaluable in helping you become a successful project manager and leader. Based largely on his best-selling book, Neal Whitten’s No-Nonsense Advice for Successful Projects, Neal has collected practices from among his favorite and most effective. Learn to think for yourself, re-energize your initiative and drive, and take control of your destiny. It’s not about the ability of those around you to lead; it’s about your ability to lead, despite what is happening around you.
