Presentation Title
Authentic Inclusion in Project Management
Presentation Speaker
Dr. Katherina Tarnai-Lokhorst
Presentation Abstract
Effective project management relies on the relationships we form with our project stakeholders. The more we engage those parties who are or may by interested in the project, the better the flow of our shared work. How do we do this? By practicing those behaviours that foster the greatest culture of inclusion in our meetings and interactions: Power Skills. This interactive presentation will engage participants by providing opportunities to explore their own practice of using inclusive behaviours.
