Getting your project off to a strong start ensures long-term success, and reduces the likelihood of major headaches down the line. However, many of us start projects without taking the crucial steps for laying such a foundation. This workshop will give you great ideas for how to handle the initiation stage of your project. Topics include:

● Writing a charter ●
● Developing a list of stakeholders ●
● Evaluation key stakeholders and reaching out to them ●
● Communication strategies ●

By addressing these critical steps at the start of your work, you will set your project – and yourself – up for success.

Projects provide many opportunities for conflict. We intuitively understand that some conflict is normal, and can even be healthy and lead our projects down more fruitful paths. However, we often have little formal training in managing conflict in either the personal or the professional aspects of our lives. This can be especially difficult in a virtual workplace, where we lack regular, in-person communication with key stakeholders.

This one-hour, highly-interactive workshop will discuss four approaches to changing your mental responses and behaviors when you are in conflict. Build your conflict-resolution skills, meet other professionals who are wrestling with these same issues…. and ultimately bring your projects to a successful conclusion!
