Study Group Session - Deep Dive Communication (Annie Sheehan)

Communication & Conflict – Handling Difficult Conversations with Confidence
Strong communication is at the heart of every successful project. In this 90-minute interactive session, we’ll dive into conflict resolution techniques every project manager should know — and bring them to life through Annie’s unique Bird Personas: the Mean Magpie, Avoidant Ostrich, Diligent Duck, and Effective Eagle, from her book, “The Courageous Sponsor”.

Discover how to spot different communication styles, defuse tension, and navigate challenging conversations with clarity and empathy. We'll also include a short, practical role play so you can experience how these strategies work in action.
Bring your curiosity — and maybe your inner bird!

Study Group Session: PMI technical terms (Pierre Corell)

Online

CPI, OPA, EEF, COQ, WBS, SOW, roadmap, critical path, user stories... Latin? Not at all!
Technical terms like these are decisive parameters in all performance domains of the PMBOK. They can be found in processes and in the logic of project management, and not only there - technical terms are practical terms that provide a relevant basis for understanding.

In this study group workshop, we will dive into the technical terms of the PMI, discuss the particularly challenging candidates and put them into context - with guaranteed oha moments.

Close the Gap: Brand Yourself for Recognition & Results

Uncover the power of personal branding to overcome hidden biases, be seen as capable, and claim your space.

Workshop Overview

This interactive session empowers women to strategically close the gaps that hinder professional growth — the visibility gap (why some get recognition and others don't) and the perceived capability gap (often internalized, especially among women, despite real expertise).

Using the proven 4P personal branding framework — Persona, Purpose, Positioning, and Presence — this workshop will guide participants in defining, expressing, and elevating their brand for greater recognition, confidence, and career momentum.

Core Learning Objectives

Reframe limiting narratives that fuel imposter syndrome or self-doubt, replacing them with a clear and authentic personal brand.
Develop strategies to increase visibility and influence in their organization or industry.
Walk away with applicable actions on how to start showing up, speaking up, and standing out with authenticity and confidence.

The 4P Personal Branding Framework

• P1 – Persona: Know Who You Are
• P2 – Purpose: Know What Drives You
• P3 – Positioning: Own Your Value
• P4 – Presence: Show Up Boldly

Key Takeaways

• A personal brand that reflects who you are and what you stand for
• Tools to increase your visibility and credibility in any space
• A reframed mindset around capability and impostor syndrome

Confidence to speak up, take space, and be recognized


Our Event will be presented by Carolyn Brand
