As a Project Manager, do you ever find yourself frustrated when offering technical explanations to non-techy clients, colleagues, or bosses who just don’t “get” what you’re saying? Imagine if you knew how to explain your projects in a way that others truly understand. You would avoid the most common communication faux-pas PM pros often make. Instead of that glazed-over stare from others, you would get a real connection, appreciation for your accomplishments, and support to tackle your challenges. The result? Better communication, less stress, more productive teams, and successful projects.

In this session, you will get:

• 5 proven strategies to simply explain complex situations.
• 3 absolute “must avoid” behaviours sure to undermine your message.
• Real-life examples of communication approaches you can use immediately.
• Additional resource materials to support you implementing your new skills.
• An encouraging environment to share and practice.
