Day 1: Essentials of Project Leadership

Day 2: Communication is the Currency of Leadership
Participants will learn to identify project roles and team member communication styles. Skills are introduced that give foundation for working across generations, working across technology and working between cultures.
By learning P.A.C.E.™ communication training via the P.A.C.E.™ assessment, participants will leave with the tools they need to manage communication with those around them.
