Advanced Interpersonal Leadership for PMs - March 23-24, 2010 - Houston, Tx

Advanced Interpersonal Leadership for Project Managers is a workshop about leadership that is like no other. This is an experiential workshop that will have participants identify the path to becoming the Leaders they have always wanted to be by looking at the blocks in their lives.

This is NOT a book workshop- it will involve men and women taking risks, discovering why they don’t fully step into the power and the leader they truly are and can be.

You will be challenged to look at the areas of your leadership that are working and those that are not. This course is an intense look into the deep seeded reasons why we do not claim the power of ourselves.

Learn about your character traits and leadership style
Explore your beliefs of leadership from a core level
Discover the difference between Leadership and Management
Reconnect with principles of integrity and accountability
Explore what your beliefs do to help you and what they do to sabotage you
Look deeper into your life and as you step into leadership make healthy choices for you and your project stakeholders
