Keynote Presentation

Courageously, Compassionately, Confidently Learning: A 21st Century Role for Project Managers

Courageously, Compassionately, Confidently Learning: A 21st Century Role for Project ManagersLearning is emerging as a key competency as the 21st century unfolds, not only for every organization, but also for every individual – from those in the board room and the executive suite, to managers and leaders in the middle, to teams on the front line, and those who coach and facilitate them. Key, not only for everyone who wants to succeed, but particularly for those who seek proficiency and success. In this talk, Diana Larsen will celebrate the learning practitioner/leader. You’ll discover how to find courage and compassion as project leaders who can see, embrace, and learn from mistakes. You’ll engage with ideas for setting the conditions for your maximum learning. And you’ll walk away with guidelines for confident learners and the energy to put them to the test.
