Influence Up: Working with those in Power

Presenter: Jeff Daniel

Have you ever gone to a project sponsor or resource manager and not gotten the response you wanted? Were you surprised that your knowledge of the business, detailed list of facts, and compelling logic fail to carry the day? Confused as to why other people seem to have more success with the C-Levels? This talk will be a breakdown of what is likely happening and what you can do to improve your chances. Topics will include behavioral economics, heuristics, body language, and tricks of the trade that are never covered in project manager school.

Topic: PMI-WCC Tapas & Talks

Time: March 16, 2023 05:30 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

5:30-7:00 - Networking
