Social intelligence: Why we need it and how we can get it webinar

Project managers and teams will agree that connecting stakeholders to the goals of a project are a core skill for project managers. Connection is fundamental part of the PM role, and connection is built on social intelligence.

Ruth has distilled the lessons learned from her 30 years of working in everything from a stockbroker to State Government, and from a not-for profit professional organisation to an investment bank, and boiled it down to one phrase: Be Hopeful: Be Strong: Be Brave: Be Curious

This webinar presented on Monday 6 April 2020 explored:

  • The importance of social intelligence for project managers
  • The challenges and opportunities of social intelligence
  • Social Intelligence character strengths
    • How to identify your own strengths
    • Seeing strengths in others
    • Leadership and communication leveraging strengths
