This session will put you on the inside track to finding the “yes” message hidden inside every necessary “no.” Great content relies on articulating clear priorities and empowering expertise to determine what to say, how to say it, to whom, and where. Priorities lead to better outcomes. They also result in difficult conversations about ideas, processes, or words that didn’t make the cut, or even worse, in team logjams and costly delays.

In this session, you’ll work to:
Who should attend: People just embarking on any degree of project management; conflict-avoiders; and those who tend toward a very structured, logical approach and/or complain about soft skills being too wishy-washy to be actionable will likely benefit most from the session’s step-by-step framework for approaching specific, common situations.
