Leadership & Soft Skills that Drive Project Success

Time Management and the 4 Zones of Personal Productivity
Time management should never be your goal. It should simply be a conduit to free up the time, money and resources needed to drive personal and organizational success.
This talk, based on the speaker’s #1 Amazon bestselling book, “Productivity Driven Success” and related TEDx Talk, will widen your perspective on time management and productivity enhancement in general. Key topics include: “The 4 Zones of Personal Productivity”, “Management Time Versus Worker Time” and "Using Circadian Rhythms for Personal and Organizational Advantage."
Take-Aways:
- How to enhance your productivity by matching the task to your current level of energy and alertness
- How to enhance your productivity through the use of Circadian Rhythms
- How to enhance work quality and productivity based on when meetings are scheduled
Leadership and Soft Skills that Drive Project Success
Project Managers, Business Analysts, Scrum Masters and Product Owners alike, need specialized skills such as leadership, negotiation, team building, influence and more. They must also have the ability to think strategically, resolve conflicts, facilitate change, communicate effectively with multiple professional disciplines, and perform other related activities. Based on my analysis of the PMI Triangle, IIBA BABOK, Agile/Scrum and ITIL, this talk outlines the specific types of leadership, interpersonal and business skills needed to enhance team harmony, maximize productivity and facilitate the teamwork needed to ensure project success and enrich professional growth.
Key Take-Aways:
- Understanding of required soft/business skills needed to maximize project and professional success
- Insights into the transferable skills between Traditional Project and Agile Project leadership
- The roadmap of required soft/business skills needed to maximize project and professional success
