“I’m a Project Manager”.

That’s often what we tell family, friends and peers when asked what we do. But is it really a fair description? It may well be our role title, but it probably doesn’t convey a lot of what we actually do.

This presentation and discussion is about going beyond the frameworks, processes and stereotypes associated with project management and exploring the leadership roles we all in fact perform.

“I provide leadership focused on delivering projects and change for organisations”

This event will explore the leadership traits and qualities of Project Managers and those working within the project management profession.

A presentation will be delivered that is intended to provoke thought and discussion. Attendee participation and input into this discussion is encouraged.
