Introduction

Project managers should be masters of communication ! You’re the point of contact for parties in a project who may have no other contact with each other, and you have to facilitate cohesive teamwork within that environment. You should feel confident interpreting the needs of one group or department and explaining them to another.

You’ll likely also mediate conflicts among stakeholders and handle negotiations about time, cos t and scope. You have to be able to understand everyone’s role and perspective while diplomatically communicating them across the project.

This workshop will help you develop strong communication skills while handling complicated projects and help you communicate effectively with a diverse group of stakeholders.
