Projects don’t go wrong because of the activities on your Kanban board or your 1000-line project plan. Projects go wrong because of unmanaged risks, forgotten action items, out of control issues or poor decisions. That’s why the most important part of the plan is planning for your plan to not go according to plan.

Leadership Skills and Overcoming the Pressure Myth
In this transformative workshop, participants will delve into the myths surrounding leadership and the pressures that often accompany it. By reframing the idea of leadership as a natural, evolving skill rather than a high-pressure burden, this session empowers leaders to develop practical skills without succumbing to stress or burnout. The workshop will offer actionable insights on managing expectations, fostering a growth mindset, and cultivating leadership qualities that inspire and motivate teams without the myth of overwhelming pressure.
